From what I gather, it looks as if you want to use a file like
a series and insert into that file wherever you feel like it on
the fly.
You can modify a file contents as if it were a series by
openning a port to it. So, something like:
rbl> probe read %file1.txt
{The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.}
rbl> probe read %file2.txt
{sleek, bad, }
rbl> close insert (find (open %file1.txt) "quick") (read %file2.txt)
rbl> probe read %file1.txt
{The sleek, bad, quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.}
