Strange Charz shown in my created .TXT file

Question

Hi,
I have createt an empty .txt file with the following command:
FileOutputStream fot = new FileOutputStream("Test.txt");
Then I wrote a simple String into it which should be written into 2 lines like that:
MY FIRST
TEXTFILE
I used that code snippet:
String x = new String("MY FIRST\nTEXTFILE");
DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream (fot);
dos.writeUTF(x);
But instead of my wanted result i got something like this:
MY FIRSTTEXTFILE
if i show this with NOTEPAD.
The result in Word2000 looks like this:
MY FIRST
TEXTFILE
I hope somebody can tell my how I have to write it to a file that it looks like this:
MY FIRST
TEXTFILE
without the ugly "".
THNX in advance

The 'System.getProperty("line.separator")' was pretty good. But I have already the prolem with de Charz on the beginning. But now they are not anymore such squares. They are simple Charz like ' a' & ' f' & ...
I show you a snippet of my log fil, which i want to create out of a program:
fTue Dec 18 11:41:24 GMT+01:00 2001 [JDBCAdapter.JDBCAdapter]
Try to open Database connection ....

Auf Wiedersehen!
Each row which contains the Date has such a Char at the beginning which isn't present in the String.
Here is the CLASS I've written to output such a log-File:
public class SystemMessage
boolean SCREEN_OUTPUT = true;
boolean FILE_OUTPUT = true;
Date datum;
FileOutputStream f;
String VisualString = new String("");
public SystemMessage()
try
f = new FileOutputStream(".\\DataManager.log",true);
catch(IOException ioe)
System.err.println(ioe);
public void print(String Message, String className)
datum = new Date();
VisualString = datum.toString() +
" ["+className+"]" +
System.getProperty("line.separator") +
" " + Message +
System.getProperty("line.separator");
if(SCREEN_OUTPUT)
System.out.println(VisualString);
if(FILE_OUTPUT)
try
DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream (f);
dos.writeUTF(VisualString);
catch (IOException e)
System.err.println(e);
Myabe you can find a error which I've made
Again THNX in advance,
