Jim Hughes' second offering clearly does what you want. If you prefer not
to use the IF convenience, his translates to
'PIPE (end ?)',
'< test file a |',
'xxx: locate /APPLES/ |',
'spec /ORANGES/ 1 write 1-* 1 |',
'i: faninany |',
'> new file a',
'?',
'xxx: | i:'

Marty,
Yes I want to pass the entire file to 'new file a' and insert ORANGES before
APPLES.
Thanks

I'm guessing you didn't give us the full request. I assume that records
without the string APPLES pass unchanged. Records with the string APPLES:
do you want to replace the string or the entire record with ORANGES? Or do
you want to insert a new record (ORANGES)? If an insert, before or after
the record with APPLES?
Marty

I want to do a simple insert of a record into the stream.
pipe < test file a | locate /APPLES/ ....| here I want to insert a literal
ORANGES | > new file a
