Description
AppendFile appends the contents of the source file onto the destination file. It
creates a temporary file that is as large as the destination file, then renames that
file to the destination file. Wildcard characters for <src file spec> are not
allowed.
Example
AppendFile input, file1, 'NETWARE-1', “NW [1]”, output,
file2, '', ''
The user is prompted for diskette NW [1], which is verified by checking for
volume label NETWARE-1. The FILE1 on that diskette is appended to FILE2
in the directory corresponding to output.

AppendTextToFile <src var name>, <src file spec>, <src vol
name>, <src descr, <text>

If the file is found, the value of variable NWSTATUS will be zero; otherwise
it will be non-zero.
