Subject: Entering a listing (or other text) into BeebEm

Sorry to go all old school on you :)

But the easiest way is surely just to use a utility that will load old 
the .INF files to convert to disc image, or just use an emulator that 
will load them

e.g.
You have "script.txt", just copy it to another file called "script" (or 
rename it).
make another text file called "script.inf", just stick in a line of text 
in it like "$.script  e00  XXXX" where XXXX is the length of the script 
file in bytes

In the emulator then its just simply a case of LOAD"script", or using a 
utility you can then add it to the disc image

Cheers

Dave
