Sounds just like

outFile = #(open-file-output-port "whatever.txt")

...
   #(display outFile "text 1")
...
   #(display outFile "text 2")

However, I can't fathom this being actually useful for tracking anything
since the output is completely unrelated (and unrelatable) to the
context around it.  Whether you write this in the source file or right
away into whatever.txt is not making a difference.

So obviously either I or you are missing some important detail here.
