    Read the BASIC Stamp Syntax and Reference Manual (www.parallax.com/tabid/440/Default.aspx) on pages 75-76.
    This discusses saving the object file (containing the compiled interpretive code) after compilation

    The low tech way to do that is to bring up the memory map, CTRL-M, and then write down the hex codes you see there. Note that the program starts from high addresses and goes down in memory, while DATA starts at the bottom of memory and goes up.

    If you follow Mike's suggestion and generate the object file, you will find it to be a 19400 byte text file. The hex codes are embedded in that file. You can look at this post, where Jeff Martin delineated the format of that file for us.
