    Jerry,

    If you are using the asciiwrite function, you cannot use it to append
    to an existing ascii file. However, you can use the "system" procedure
    to concatentate one file to the end of another. For example, if
    your existing file is "file1.dat", and you want to concatenate some
    data to it, you might have something like:

         asciiwrite("file2.dat",data)
         system("cat file2.dat >> file1.dat")
         system("/bin/rm file2.dat")
