I think several APL vendors have supported this for a number of
years.  The 'HOW' depends on the APL.

In APLX, the file read/write application you describe is a two-line
function using []IMPORT and []EXPORT.  Then you just assign the name
of the function to []LX, and choose "Save as type:  Executable
(packaged WS) .exe" from the File Menu.  (Incidentally you can use the
session window for output if you want to.)

So it's rather misleading to say "This is a very standard thing normal
computer languages can and do... I have never seen an APL application
been able to do this."  I would say "no other programming language
does it as easily as APL!"
