For getting stuff *in* to XRoar, it'll recognise ".bas" (or ".asc")
file extensions to mean ASCII BASIC and feed it in accordingly (generate
a header block, wrap chunks of text with leaders & other metadata),
so you can edit BASIC outside the emulator using a sensible-editor and
import that way.

Getting it out again?  Yeah, -lp-file outname.bas and using LLIST is
probably the best way.  You can CSAVE"",A and edit out the inter-block
data, but that's not ideal.
