[Coco] VCC 1.40 or "other mechanism" question

I have a BASIC program (saved as ascii text on my windows system) that I 
want to run on my CoCo3 (real or emulated). I have VCC 1.4 loaded on a 
USB drive (so I can play CoCo games anywhere), as well as a real CoCo3 
(Disto controller, 3.5 and 5.25 floppy drives, MPI, 512 memory upgrade) 
I am also a registered user of Drivewire and Roger Taylor's excellent 
Rainbow IDE.

Obviously the easiest way would be to copy & paste the BASIC program 
from Windows Notepad into VCC, but as you all know, Windows shortcuts 
don't work in VCC, so what process do the members of this list recommend?
Would it be best to do "everything" in Rainbow IDE (even to making a DSK 
file with the BASIC program on it)
Or to use an RS-DOS editor to "copy & paste"
Or to use Wimgtool.exe to paste the ascii file onto a DSK
Or...........

Thanks, and since I have a Disto SCII, I am looking forward to obtaining 
a CoCoNet eprom (more stuff to play with <grin>)
