ATTACK.OUT Save text string data for Deployment screen

NOTE: This routine seems to be bugged, though it would be hard to notice without a roster filled past the vanilla limit of 16. If the text limit of 0x4000 bytes is hit, it breaks out of the loop with "beq r2,r0,0x001c98e8" - but branching to 0x001c98e8 skips some of the code outside of the loop that specifically only saves to the section immediately after the limit. This causes the help text on the deployment screen to bug out, because a vital text pointer set by the skipped section does not get set, and because it means that loading and saving '0x1400' bytes of text data gets skipped!
