I guess the command got distorted. It should have been:

gpg --export --armor alajal at gmail.com > mykey.txt

You can also use:

gpg --export --armor alajal at gmail.com --output mykey.txt

(No mailto: before the email address.

mykey.txt is where the ASCII version of the key would be saved. By
default, the output of gpg --export goes to the standard output. By
using > or --output you redirect the output to a file.
