george,
Since you are writing to your file using print, your sequences will be printed
with sequence delimiters {} so there is no need for white space to delimit the
output.  For your example you could do two things:

include get.e

sequence a,b,c
a = "this is test 1"
b = "this is test 2"
c = "this is test 3"

atom fn

fn = open( "test.txt", "wb" )
print(fn, a)
print(fn, b)
print(fn, c)
close(fn)

fn = open( "test.txt", "r" )
? get(fn)
? get(fn)
? get(fn)
close(fn)

Alternatively, you could do this (print sequence of sequences and get them all
at once):

include get.e

sequence a,b,c
a = "this is test 1"
b = "this is test 2"
c = "this is test 3"

atom fn

fn = open( "test.txt", "wb" )
print(fn, {a,b,c})
close(fn)

fn = open( "test.txt", "r" )
? get(fn)
close(fn)

It's usually easiest to just experiment to get what you really want...
