On file output, makes newline every time

I am trying to make a program that outputs a series of characters to a file. The problem I keep running into, (even when I use seek and tell) is the following : After Turing outputs a character to a file, it creates a newline for the next character. The effect of this is a thin, one character wide, tall output file, when a "regular" text format is desired.

The question I have is this : Can anyone help me eliminating the "newline after every character" problem listed above.

Thanks in Advance.

instead of put character use put character..

the .. will suppress the newline.

Well, if you use 'put' for file output just use '..' at the end of the line.

Turing:
put : fileStream, output ..

Tony beat me to it...
