Applesoft BASIC, at least, puts a little more in the file than that.
Each line is represented in the file by:

  *  two bytes giving a pointer to the address in memory (not the
     offset in the file) of the next line
  *  two bytes of line number
  *  the text of the line, null-terminated, with values greater
     than 127 representing tokenized keywords

Unfortunately the GWBASIC manual I have doesn't have a list of them.
I can give you the Applesoft table, if you think it would help any.
