As it happens, appendfile creates a console log file (i.e. saving all
the input and output from your session) which is probably not what you
want.

Excel and other spreadsheet programs typically are able to read
comma-separated values, e.g.: 1, 2, 3, 4
The function in the numericalio package, write_data, can write data to a
file, separating the values by commas (or some other characters). E.g.
suppose you have created a matrix A containing your data.

  for i thru m do for j thru n do A[i, j] : FOO (i, j);

where FOO is some complicated function. Then:

  write_data (A, "my_output.data", 'comma);

Hope this helps,
