Hey folks, using OpenFile(), it seems to recreate the file each time you write to it and I want to be able to append to an existing file,a dd headers etc.
Is there any way of doing this?

Hello Frede, I wasn't looking for bugs (Thought I had actually overlooked something as usual). But, I have been testing this for the better part of 4 hours and that is the behaviour, re-create.
In common with most BASIC variants that I have used over the last 18 years, who not have a flag as part of the OpenFile() command to set the mode and forget the ReadFile command??
As in (IsAlive = OpenFile(#1,Flag,FileName))
Flags 1 = Read Only, 2 = Read/Write, 3 = Read/Write&Append, 4 = Binary
Combining 2 & 4 would give Read/Write&Binary
Combining 2 & 3 would give Read/Write/Append&Binary
Or use the MODE command (as is most common with basics)
IsALive = OpenFile(#1, FileName) AS BINARY Etc etc
