You can save your basic.bas files in ascii. Then use DW or other serial link to your mac. The way to do is, is load you basic file, and type save "filename.bas:drive",A on te coco. 
This writes a file on the drive "drive" in just text. You can read these in any plain text editor. 

hope this helps

I have a number of files on my CoCo that I would like to “print,” 

My system is a CoCo 3 with HDBDOS and Drivewire 4. 

I have taken a look at the DW 4 Wiki, and then at my configuration. It appears that I am set up with a “plain text” printer, with the output aimed into the cocoprints folder within the Drivewire folder. So, does that mean I can simply load a basic program and then type LLIST? 

Of course, I tried that and then my machine just hanged up after the LLIST command, as if it was printing, but nothing showed up in the cocoprints folder… 

Can anyone help me to get this going? All I want is to be able to get simple source listings off my machine so I can pull them over onto my Mac and get them printed out. 

TIA
