Using the verb fwrites from files.ijs I can write a numeric table to file as a 
string.

   (i.4 5) fwrites jpath '~temp/myfile.txt'
64

This works because the first line of the verb is:
  dat=. ":x

However fappends does not work the same way and requires that the left argument 
is already a string.
   (i.4 5) fappends jpath '~temp/numtable2.txt'
|domain error: fappends
|   dat=.dat    ,"1 toHOST LF
   (": i.4 5) fappends jpath '~temp/numtable2.txt'
64

The first line of fappends is:
  dat=. x

I think both verbs should work the same way and suggest that the first line of 
fappends should be changed to mirror fwrites.

Is there a reason that they shouldn't be the same?
