a simple text output query


How do I output on a single line? For example; if I...echo "dougp">file1...and I...echo "Douglas">file2, when I...cat file1 file2>file3... And then I...cat file3, the output is on two separate lines.
That is;
dougp
Douglas

How do I get it to display on a single line? Like this;

dougp Douglas or dougp, Douglas

Today is my third day playing with Unix(Linux on my Mac), yet I'm stymied by this simple problem.
