 Help Needed -- GWBASIC unprotect?

I'm trying to help a fellow who has a GWBASIC program that is currently
saved in binary tokenized form.  I start GWBASIC and load the file then
try the following command:

SAVE "rsed.bas",A

in order to save it out as a text file.  Instead I get an error message.  I seem
to recall that there was a way to "protect" a GWBASIC file.  Correct?
If so, is it possible to "unprotect"?

TIA

                      How to unprotect a Basic program

 1. Run GWBASIC.
 2. LOAD the protected program.
 3. Type NEW and hit return.
 4. Type 0'* (The * should actually be ALT-15). So that's
       zero, apostrophe, ALT-15) and hit return.
 5. You can now LIST and SAVE the file normally.

 I got this a long time ago from somebody else. Thanks to him.
