I assume you mean making a program on one computer and transferring it to another.
You can do that by making a disk drive and writing your program to a floppy.
More info on the wiki:

Sorry no, let me clarify I mean have one automatically program another, like cookiebal dose in this video: :

so that you can have a system automatically making more computers.
thanks

same thing, just name the file on the disk as startup and it will automatically execute when the turtle starts up (which can be done with the peripheral interface)
PS: be sure to make the startup file check IDs and only operate if it is not the computer ID that is meant to edit it so that you don't over write your PC
