If I want to edit my applesoft programs in my text editor (appleworks
2)(dos3.3) , I simply merge this short program


0  GOTO 100
1 D$ =  CHR$ (4)
2  HOME : INPUT "WIDTH OF TEXT LINES ";Y
3  INPUT "FILE NAME FOR TEXT OUTPUT ";X$: INPUT "STORAGE DRIVE ";U
4  PRINT : PRINT D$;"OPEN";X$;",D";U
5  PRINT : PRINT D$;"WRITE";X$
6  POKE 33,Y
7  LIST 
8  PRINT : PRINT D$;"CLOSE";X$
9  END 
10 rem main program starts here


this list the text of the basic program and stores it on a disk as a
simple text file that you can edit with your word processor as you see
fit. 

When your finished, save the file (without any formatting codes except
returns) and then exec it back into memory, save the resulting
basic program as a name of your choice.

This segment comes right out of the dos3.3 manual, page 76

hope you all have a great new year
