This came from the help file

; Reading and writing a file using ReadLine$ and WriteLine functions 

; Initialise some variables for the example 
String1$ = "Line 1 is short" 
String2$ = "Line 2 is a longer line but they can be much longer" 
String3$ = "Line 3 is made up " 
String4$ = "of two parts joined together." 

; Open a file to write to 
fileout = WriteFile("c:\mydata.txt") 

; Write the information to the file 
WriteLine( fileout, String1 ) 
WriteLine( fileout, String2 ) 
WriteLine( fileout, String3 + String4) 
WriteLine( fileout, "Just to show you don't have to use variables" ) 

; Close the file 
CloseFile( fileout ) 

End
