I think that this should do it for you; I didn't test it, though.
It prompts you to choose the source file and the folder in which to
save the resulting files; it defaults to the desktop for both
prompts. Don't forget that the choose folder dialog allows you to
create a new folder if that's what you need in order to store the new
files.
It creates the files' names from the first five characters of the
line; if the line has fewer than five characters, it uses the entire
line.
