Yes there is. I posted this here a long long time ago, let me see if I
can find it so that I don't have to retype it...
Found it! It took me a few minutes to figure out a keyword to use
to search my outgoing mail folder for it. It was the fifth newest
letter in my box containing the word "detokenize". I was proud of
myself for thinking of using that word (it only took me 5 minutes to
find one that wasn't in a tenth of all the letters I've sent in the past
year). After all, that box only has two thousand outgoing letters in it...

I found a quick and easy way to transfer 86 progs to the 85. It's
rather in-depth, so e-mail me and I'll explain it to you personally
if you don't understand what I'm talking about here.
First, open the program in the program editor (if it's locked, my
method won't work). This will detokenize the program. Next,
change the first byte of it's VAT entry (RAM page 7, around
$BC80) from $12 to $0C. If you don't know how to do this, e-mail
me personally. Now, send the program to the 85 using [LINK]
[SND85] [STRING] (varname). Then open the program editor
on the 85 (a blank program) and press [2nd] [RCL] (progname).
And it's transferred.
