Diana, files are, by default, placed in Directory[].  To export to a two 
column text file, create a n x 2 table first.

In[1]:= lst = {4, 5, 10, 11, 3, 79};

In[3]:= Export["file.txt", Partition[lst, 2], "Table"];

In[4]:= Directory[]

Out[4]= "D:\\Documents"

Note that Parition will drop nonpairs, in this case.  See documentation 
for Partition for more complex cases.
