The new line was pretty easy and I feel dumb for asking:
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(fileName));
//The while the vector is not empty keep processing
while (intCounter < vecList.size())
temp = (FundsTxnMaster)vecList.get(intCounter);
//temp.printAll();
out.write("this is a test"
;
//would like a tab here
out.write("this is a test"
out.newLine();
intCounter++; //Increment the counter
}
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(fileName));
//The while the vector is not empty keep processing
while (intCounter < vecList.size())
temp = (FundsTxnMaster)vecList.get(intCounter);
//temp.printAll();
out.write("this is a test"
;//would like a tab here
out.write("this is a test"
; out.newLine();
intCounter++; //Increment the counter
}

tabs, carriage returns, backslash and quotes are 'Escape Characters'
You can't write these in your code between " " like other characters. Instead you have to use Escape Sequences.
These sequences begin with a backslash
System.out.print("this\tis a\ntest"
This example will print:
this is a
test

Thanks Stijn147.
I guess my only other question would be what is the difference between using:
out.write("this is a\ntest"
AND
out.write("this is a"
out.newLine();
out.write("test"
Is (out.newLine(); == out.write("\n" ?

?This is what I find in the API specification of BufferedWriter:
public void newLine() throws IOException
Write a line separator. The line separator string is defined by the system property line.separator, and is not necessarily a single newline ('\n') character.
