Can't use append!

[troyu]

I am trying to write to a text file.

I am trying to use the "append" command. However, I am continually getting the error message
"Error 85: ";" expected"
I have tried to place the ";" in places I think are correct, but I can't get past this error message.

Help.

That usually means you're missing a semi-colon on the line above. If that's not the case, can you post a code-snippet? TealWren
