You can use set alte to and ?? to do this as follows:

*-------------------------------------------
#define CRLF chr(13)+chr(10)
set alte to temp.txt
set alte on
scan
?? qt(field1)+qt(field2)+qt(field3,.f.)+CRLF
endscan
set alte to

*-------------------------------------------
function qt(fld, noComma)
* Function to add quotes and comma by default.
* If second param present then comma is ommited
comma=iif(parameters()=1,",","")
return ["]+TRIM(STRTRAN(fld, CRLF, " "))+["]+comma
*-------------------------------------------

This will print both character and memo fields. For numerics and other types you must convert to character.
