Where is the Missing Link?.

Last by 2 AM I finally became frustrated to tears at how to do this most
rudimentary operation in AppleScript Which 2 days ago I described in DOS
batch terms:
DIR/s>textfile
This command makes a directory list of all files and all files in all
subdirectories and writes the output to "textfile".

I must have wasted 16 hours in the last few days trying to do this
operation.
There must be a way to do this in simple AppleScript, please don't recommend
I buy Script debugger, I am on social security and have hardly any money.
Yesterday after reading the praises of AppleScript I was willing to forgive
and forget, but now I am as disgusted as ever. This is not even a request
for help, just an expression of my failure to understand the rules of this
most difficult of languages. Besides wanting to actually get something done,
I am struggling to learn this stuff and failing miserably.
Today I will download this ASLG, maybe that is the missing link.
