Martin,
thanks for info. I'm not upto scratch on QShell and your response has
whetted my apetite to learn more.
BTW I presume if using it in RPG I would just wrap it in QCmdExc?
I'll probably still stick to programming it using IFS api's because I don't
want to start introducing QSH into my cmds as it is an optional feature and
secondly cat is not really an append as it involves three files, and if
files were large would have a bigger performance hit . . . . but it would
do the job very concisely
