Here is the program you need:

0 TEXT:PRINT CHR$(21):HOME:POKE 33,33:PRINT CHR$(4);"OPEN
APPLESOFT.TXT":PRINT CHR$(4);"WRITE APPLESOFT.TXT":LIST 1,63999:PRINT
CHR$(4);"CLOSE":TEXT:END

Just attach that to your program, and type RUN.  If your program already
uses line 0, put the program at 63999 and change the LIST instruction to
"LIST 0,63998" and do a "RUN 63999".  That's all there is to it!

To get that program back into Applesoft, just type 

]EXEC APPLESOFT.TXT  (in DOS 3.3)
or
]- APPLESOFT.TXT (in ProDOS)

Have fun!
