Sure (though it's been a LONG time):

COPY CON: filename
Type your text here
end with Control-Z

No editing capabilities, but any text you type will be in the file filename.
Handy for a quick batch file.

FYI: The equivalent in most Unix/Linux would be:

cat > filename
Type your text here
end with Control-D

Note that this works fine for short stuff, but you have only minimal editing
capabilities.

Again, don't get me wrong gang. I hardly advocate vi for writing your next
resume! It's just a survival skill.
