If anyone at Apple or elsewhere can take note of a slight problem, which may 
not be a bug, but is nonetheless very annoying, I'd greatly appreciate it. 
  
According to the 1.2 new release stack, HyperCard cannot APPEND text files. 
It can only read in whole files, and dump out whole files--there is no way 
to add to an existing file. 
  
A friend of mine, who is writing a "computer logging" program for monitoring 
student use of their computer lab, brought this to my attention.  If there 
is any way to easily append a file without having to create a new file 
every time you need to add information (about 30 times a day, every day, all 
year), I'd love to know (so I can pass that information on). 
  
Thanks in advance, 
Benjamin Kuo
