Exactly. My first attempt was to dump out the whole image and make terminal to
receive it as a textual file. Uh uh...

Well, of course I would like to make it available for community. If you think
it will not contradict your own ideas, I would be just happy.
We can even go further. What do you think about packaging your pbForth with
all that optional words? Having SAVE-SYSTEM available, you can create few pre-
packaged images for different purposes. Of course, not all stuff can be used,
but things like vocabulary management, debugging, conditional compiling, etc.
would fit well. Actually, I have made few adaptations for myself. Maybe you
also have something?

Yes, I've considered it too. But then I decided to make things simple as
possible. Even now XMODEM code is quite big...
Do you think it will really help to make it on pbForth side?
As alternative, I can provide simple decoding utility written on something
portable.
