Thanks Steve, that is perfect! That right there makes it far more usable than the "proprietary format -> CP/M disk image -> text file" solution.
I just realized that the wiki at http://bitchin100.com/wiki/index.php?title=M100_CP/M exists and if I was paying attention, I would have got my answer from there! :-) Thank you for not chastising me to read the wiki :-) :-) :-) Now the link is in this discussion in case anyone else has the same question. Thanks again for your great work, and your patience. Have a good weekend.
