One more point on writing to a file from an ela

["Jay Mackro" <jmackro@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Boy, do I feel foolish!

Dennis Holverstott gave me the solution, and I failed to fully read
what he had recommended.  I hate it when I do that!

Dennis, you're right - the problem I had encountered - writing
a file with one long line, instead of a line for each commodity -
was easily solved by adding the "newline" command.  Michael
Stewart was also kind enough to point out my oversight.

I hope the rest of you on these lists aren't totally bored with
this topic, but the FileAppend command is not well documented,
and as I have learned today, it can be useful (when used
correctly).

Thanks again!

Jay
