<P>
 The <CODE>WRITE\TEXT</CODE> command writes writes a
 character string to a file. If <CODE>\APPEND</CODE> is used, and
 if the output file already exists, the string will be appended onto the end of the file.</P>

 <font size="+1" color="green">Example 1</font></p>
<p>
 The values of scalar variables can be written by using the
 <a href="../Functions/StringManipulation/rchar.htm"><CODE>RCHAR</CODE></a> function
 and the <a href="../Operators/append.htm">append</a> operator, <code>//</code>.  For example:</p>
<p>
 <font color="blue"><pre>
 WRITE\TEXT FILE.EXT `The value of A is '//RCHAR(A)
 WRITE\TEXT FILE.EXT `The value of X['//RCHAR(J)//`] = '//RCHAR(X[J])
 </pre></font></p>
<P>
 <font size="+1" color="green">Example 2</font></p>
<p>
 Suppose you want to write a header line to a file and then write some
 data stored in vectors to that file. For example:</p>
<p>
 <font color="blue"><pre>
 WRITE\TEXT FILE.DAT `This is a header line'
 WRITE\APPEND FILE.DAT X Y Z
 </pre></font></p>
<p>
 Suppose <CODE>X</CODE> is a vector, <CODE>X = [ 1.1; 2.2; 3.3; 4.4 ],</CODE>
 and you  want to write the values of <CODE>X</CODE> to a file, with some text.
 For example:</p>
<p>
 <font color="blue"><pre>
 DO J = 1, LEN(X)
  WRITE\TEXT\APPEND FILE.DAT `X['//RCHAR(J)//`] = '//RCHAR(X[J])
 ENDDO
 </pre></font></p>
