PLEASE explain in VERY simple terms how to do this.

There are several emulators, actually. I'm not aware of one that is
called atari 800xl emulator, but I just try to answer for mine (atari++)

In the emulator menu, go to the menu "Os", the submenu "H1Dir". A file
requester will open and allow you to select a directory that becomes a
"virtual disk" for the emulator. Select for example your home directory.

Then, press "OK". The basic screen should re-appear. To save your
program, type

SAVE "H:MYPROG.BAS"

This will save your basic program into the directory you have just
selected, giving it the name "MYPROG.BAS". H: is the virtual disk you
have just assigned before.

Greetings,
Thomas
