I presume that by string you mean a variable declared as

	type 
	  string : packed array [1..n] of char;
	var
	  foo : string;
	  f : file of string;

This variable is easily initialized using an assignment:

	foo := 'Any string of length n'

but it is necesary (sp?) that the expression is a string of length exacty 
n characters.

To write on a nontext-file you have to declare f as above and write as usual.
