I believe one can seek(EOF,#path) or something similar in basic09.  Failing 
that, open in update mode, then read to a throwaway buffer till it hits  
eof, don't close, but start writing at eof.  But that would be a kludge 
only if the seek doesn't work.  ISTR using it with the seek half an eon 
ago. ;-)
