No, but maybe something you can intuit next time some other nerdy type
throws out something similar....
As You Well Know... and Why Am I Telling You.
Meaning... there is no need for me to be telling Ken about the fact that
file i/o would be a simple (and better) thing for you to use in the
situation you are describing. When you get up through the rest of the CD's
there is a bunvh of very good examples. He knows that better than I do.

P.S. - By file i/o, I mean the commands which allow filePro to open and
manipulate the contents of any file on your system. For example, OPEN(),
WRITELINE(), etc. You could open the file you are wanting to append to with
the OPEN() command, another, SEEK() to the end of the file, and finally, do
the append with a WRITELINE() command. No need to worry about export and
it's behavior. 6 of one half a dozen of the other, though. (Don't forget to
always CLOS() files you've opened and fooled around with... :-)
