Look for the Open statement, whose See Also link should lead you to Close,
Print, Write, and even Input and Read.

Try code like the following to get started:

Dim FName As String
Dim FNum As Integer
Dim S As String

FName = "C:\Test\TestFile.txt"
FNum = FreeFile
S = "Write This"
Open FName For Output Access Write As #FNum
Print #FNum, S
Close #FNum

I should have noted that if you open the file for Output, the existing
contents of the file are destroyed. To keep the existing content, open for
Append:

Open FName For Append Access Write As #FNum

This will cause the data to be written at the end of the existing contents.
