this is what you can do, just execute this program:

but first use an editor and edit out all the above where it says "Cut here"
including the "Cut here" then just save as a text file.  Then just type
exec "the text file" or type -"the text file" if you're in prodos and minus
the quotes
---------------  Cut here  -----------------

home:?"Welcome to the AppleSoft to Text converter":?"By  Chantha Lueung

input "What name do you wish to call the program? ";n$
?CHR$(4);"OPEN";N$:?CHR$(4);"WRITE";N$
LIST
?CHR$(4);"CLOSE";N$

--------------  CUT here and everything else down -------
Oh, I almost forgot, if youu're using dos 3.x change all the commands to
upper case lettrs because dos 3.x does not accept lowercase letters.
I just realized that, so some of it is lower case, but if you're using
prodos you needn't worry
