Why not just load all three programs into a single wordprocessor file 
(the Proterm editor would work for this) and then save it all as a single 
text file?  The only problem would be the memory limitations of the WP 
program used (depending on the size of each segment).  Also, I've never 
tried this, but I think that if you unBinscii each segment seperately, 
Binscii will take care of appending each segment to the proper place in 
the output file.
