Thank you for your answer Michelle...
However what you wrote made only some limited sense to me...
Could you give me maybe a scripting dictionnary reference to look into
to do waht your proposing ? Just that I've never dealt with playing with
text with AS before.

I would read the file, then append the content to the new text (in
memory), reset the EOF of the file to zero, and write the data back to
the file.
