Sounds as if you want a save-get that does the following things in order
after you have created the file into which the words are to be dumped:

SE /&/ (find an ampersand)
SEB / / (search backward for an empty space).
F1 (drop a marker)
(move forward one space to avoid picking up the just-found empty space
again)
SE / / (search forward for an empty space)
F1 (drop a marker)
APPEND [to the file you are collecting these things to]
F3 (release the defined text between the markers)
(move forward a few spaces)
and then repeat until you get a "canot find" on the command line.

You may have to touch up this sequence a bit so that the words containing
ampersands are separated by spaces, and so that you don't pick up the same
word over and over again.
