Subject: puts vs. write for writing to a file

I've done some googling, some looking in the pickaxe(2) book (using the 
index), and some experimenting in irb, but I can't readily see the difference 
between puts and write (except that write doesn't work in all cases in irb:)

irb(main):044:0> write "\nmorF\n\n"
NoMethodError: undefined method `write' for main:Object

So what is the difference (specifically for the case of writing to a file) 
and/or when should I use one vs. the other?
