The file isn't saved as an Applesoft BASIC file. Use:

]NEW
]EXEC ascii-basic-file
]SAVE applesoft-basic-file

You will get a lot of blank prompts as the program is read in. You may also
get various errors. those mean Applesoft didn't understand something about
the program. Also, be sure every line has a number.

You may want to run the programs through a text editor and use search and
replace to port the programs first.
