Writing a Character to a File

The Insert | File I/O Command | Writing Commands | Write Character menu option inserts a command into the Edit window that causes a single character to be output to a disk file upon execution.

The syntax of this command in the Edit window is:

Descriptions for some of the components of this command are:
