How to add new file into file 1

[LcdCyn]

I am trying to create a script which accepts two strings. $1 is the text string I would like to add to a file and $2 is the file name. I know that one can use "sed" with the a\ option to do this. Every example I have seen of using a\ requires a separate script file in which I define the input to file. Is there some way I can do what I want to do without the extra script file?

this will append the text to the end of a file

#!/usr/bin/ksh

TEXT=$1
FILE=$2

echo $1 >> $2

usage:
[script_name] "[text]" [filename]

note: quotes are only necessary
if the text has blank characters
inbetween words, etc.
