Several options. One of the simplest is the converse of FileToStr(), namely, StrToFile(). It will save the specified expression (e.g., etext0 + etext1 + etext2) to disk. Nor do you have to save it all at once; there is an "append" option that allows you to add to the end of an existing file.
Another option is low-level file functions. Probably more efficient if you want to add several pieces to a file, but it requires more commands. I suggest you start with StrToFile(), due to its simplicity.

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
