Actually, the interesting thing is that based on the details of the OpenFile
function, the code supplied shouldn't work at all. There is a second parameter
to OpenFile that tells how the file should be opened, and according to the help
the default for that parameter is 0, which is Read Only.

Subject: [nsbasic-ce] Re: Writing to file keeps overwriting
I'm going to hazard a guess that the form_load command for FS3 was:
AddObject "newObjects.utilctls.SFMain", "FS3"
The syntax given matches what's specified in
http://www.nsbasic.com/ce/info/technotes/TN08.htm
In that case, I would try:
File.Seek(0,2)
between OpenFile and WriteText. This moves 'current position in the file' to 0
bytes offset from end of file.
Not guaranteed to work without tweaking, but let us know if that's any help.
