Ahh, right.
And I suppose it's too big to save as a .DO and then save that off.
The other option is to "Print" it to a file if you are interested in
trying that option. :) But again, you still end up with a text file,
not a tokenized .BA file.

I can use the intrinsic Load & Save functions in the menu for .DO and
.CO files, but I can't use the Load option for .BA files due to the
dreaded "Ill formed BASIC file". (Lack of an NEC tokenizer, methinks.)
The Save to HD option does work for .BA files, but since I have to
jump into TS-DOS in order to load a .BA properly, I'm just accustomed
to using one interface (TS-DOS) for file operations just as a matter
of practice.

Of course I need to ask the question that hasn't been asked yet:
Why go to all the trouble of trying to save off a file from
VirtualT to the host using TS-DOS and the virtual NADSBox
emulation? Why not just use the "File -> Save to HD" menu option?

I cant test this. It is entirely internal.
From what I read you have
Virtual T NEC, with TSDOS
Chatting with
Virtual Nadsbox
Using internal connection.
If you could show that real NEC has this issue then I am all set
to snoop it.
You could use laddieAlpha as a client for example.

I think I just made a testbed for that.
Happy to set up and capture traces

Yeah, that's interesting. Suppose we could "sniff"
what TS-DOS is doing, as this is 100% repeatable. In my
case, every test I've done results in the file handle not
being closed, so it must never be sending the opcode.
That just seems very weird to me, though.

Which would be a bug in TSDOS. Which either would
have to be fixed there or we close the file after a
timeout or some other TPDD command can be used as an
indication the file is no longer being written. Like
if the directory starts being enumerated.
