(write-line string [file-descriptor])

Write that string to a file.

This function is more practical and efficient to use than the write-char function. Anything can be written into a file, since the format is a string. The file is specified by the file-descriptor, assigned by the open function. When the file-descriptor is left out, the string is written to the command line and Prompt History window.
