An even easier way might be to use the built-in S command of the monitor:
S "filename",device,start,end
e.g., S "program",08,0401,04ff
That works also with the tape drive. On the tape, sequential files are
written in a lot less efficient format than programs. (The data is divided
into 192-byte blocks, which contain 187 bytes of payload. There are long
sync pulse streams between the blocks to allow the tape motor to stop and
start.)
