Hit <ESC> as soon as the opening title screen appears. Now that you have the file converted into ascii, by following the on screen instructions, you have to find a way to transfer it to a PC. The best way is via modem or serial ports, or if you are lucky a PC-Transporter on an Apple //e. Hope this helps. Bob colello@cheshire.oxy.edu
