Switch load/save to text listings #23

Hi Hi!

Thank you so much for making the basic interpreter in Python available. I've been playing around with it via CircuitPython as the basis for a sort of retro handheld that boots to a basic interpreter.

Not sure if you want to accept random PR's, but allowing the loading/saving of ascii program listings was one of my first mods so that I could load some of the online vintage basic goodness. Typing listings in definitely brings back good memories, but it turns out I'm a bit less patient than I was as a youngster :-)

Thanks for submitting this PR. Inability to load a text file did grate with me a bit, but I haven't had the time to refactor the code.
