This code
put "a" & CR into t; put "b" into line 2 of t; put t
produces (as I would expect)
a
b
BUT
put "a" & CR into t; put "b" into line 2 to -1 of t; put t
produces
ba
Why should adding the "to -1" change this to put the new data before
what was there before ?
I can see that there is no line 2, so saying "line 2 to -1 " does need
to be interpreted. But if you specify a line number higher than exists,
normally the string will be padded with enough CRs to make it work, e.g.
put "a" &CR into t; put "b" into line 3 of t; put t
produces
a
b
but
put "a" &CR into t; put "b" into line 3 to -1 of t; put t
again produces
ba
