direct creation of fasl files

[djskrien@COLBY.EDU (Dale Skrien)]

I have lisp code in a scrolling-fred-dialog-item that I would like to save
to a file in fasl form.  I know I can do it by saving the contents of the
fred-dialog-item as a text file and then compiling the text file to create
a fasl file, but I would rather do it directly without the intermediate
step of creating the text file.  Is there a way to do a compile-and-save
all in one step?
