     NAME
          puts - Write to a file

     SYNOPSIS
          puts ?-nonewline? ?fileId? string
     _________________________________________________________________


     DESCRIPTION
          Writes the characters given by string to the file  given  by
          fileId.   FileId  must  have  been  the  return value from a
          previous call to open, or it may  be  stdout  or  stderr  to
          refer  to one of the standard I/O channels; it must refer to
          a file that  was  opened  for  writing.   If  no  fileId  is
          specified then it defaults to stdout.  Puts normally outputs
          a newline character after string, but this  feature  may  be
          suppressed  by  specifying the -nonewline switch.  Output to
          files is buffered internally by Tcl; the flush  command  may
          be used to force buffered characters to be output.
