shelx .hkl files often have a blank line or a line filled out with zeros
at the end as a terminator. This is useful if you wish to edit in extra
information such as the cell dimensions after this line, but is not
obligatory. However if you concatenate the files with cat or a text
editor you may need to remove such a line from the middle of the
concatenated file. However as Tim says, you will almost certainly need
to scale them together, in which case xprep is a good choice. It allows
you to either merge the intensities and their esds or to scale but not
merge them. If required you can also use it to add free R flags (or
transfer them from another file).

Dear Rex,
if you are talking about shelx hkl-files which contain no extra
information, you can use 'cat', available only probably all unixoidal
operating systems:
cat 1.hkl 2.hkl> 3.hkl
It might, however, be more reasonable to scale the two files together.
xprep can do this.
Cheers,
Tim

Is there an easy way to make two .hkl files into one continuous
