There are two commands in the CLI that perform similarly to Unix's "cat":
join, which allows concatination of upto 15 files into a new file, and
type, which sends the contents of a file to stdout.

Note that you should also be able to easily concatinate two files with any
text editor worth the name.  Emacs is certainly capable of this.
