Dave Walker's suggestion is the easiest.
Another way is to get a QL emulator for the PC and use that to copy the
file(s). I use Qemulator which does a great job. There are plenty of
others. The Rolls Royce is QPC2 but a mite over the top for file
copying! I hardly ever use Qemulator for *real* work - I much prefer
using QL hardware.
