In David B Wagner's excellent book, "Power Programming with Mathematica:
the kernal", there are many suggestions on ways to do this.
Try something like:
OutputForm[TableForm[thelist,TableSpacing->0]] >> thefilename.txt
If you have scientific notation you may have to Map FortranForm around
this list first.
Hope this helps,
Luci
