Explains why TS2068 BASIC files downloaded from PC-based BBSs via Xmodem become corrupted: Xmodem pads the last 128-byte block with garbage bytes that follow the final program line. Solution uses HOT-Z v1.81 (loaded at address 50416) in hex-edit mode to replace the end-of-program byte (DEC 14) with DEC 13 followed by DEC 128, and zero out the next 10 bytes. Step-by-step procedure with memory address illustration.
