It's going to be slow from BASIC, copying one byte at a time in a loop. 
  How far do you want to cheat?  You could set up a helper routine 
invoked with 'call', or a routine called from Ctrl-Y, or...

You could get something of a speedup just by using Integer BASIC, too.

If transferring bits in a block is a bitblit, transferring characters in 
a block would be a... charblit?
