Open the file for input/output as Binary, and use Put.
(From the MapBasic Help file:)
"Put [#] filenum, [ position ] , var_name
filenum is the number of a file opened through an Open File statement
position is the file position to write to (does not apply to sequential file
access)
var_name is the name of a variable which contains the data to be written"
Good luck.
