Subj: REPLY TO MSG #4576 (APPEND)

How big is the TMPC diary file, that is, can you read it all into RAM at once?
Will all the new data entries be appended at the end, or will they have to be
inserted in the middle in a sorted order?  It should be easy to put them at the
end:  Just load in the file from the RAMPAC using the BASIC command sequence
that appears in the RAMPAC manual, then open the file just loaded for append,
then write the new data to it, then close it, then write it back to the RAMPAC
with the overwrite option selected.  I'm probably not understanding the
problem!
