Loading your notebook, I have realized you work with Mathematica 5.1;
however, the function *FilePrint* is a new function available since
version 6.0. So you can try the escape sequence as in the cell In[3]
or use a text editor (especially if the real file is quite large).

In[1]:=
lst = {35, 36, 2, 4, 5};
Export["C:\\myFile.txt", MapIndexed[StringJoin[ToString[#2[[1]]], " ",
     ToString[#1]] & , lst], "Lines"]

Out[2]=
C:\myFile.txt

In[3]:=
!!"C:\\myFile.txt"

>From In[3]:=
1 35
2 36
3 2
4 4
5 5

In[4]:=
(* For Mathematica 6.0 and above only *)
FilePrint["C:\\myFile.txt"]

Out[5]=
FilePrint[C:\myFile.txt]

Regards,
Jean-Marc

P.S. I have sent privately the corrected notebook by email.
