Could you try this in your multi-line msg box and let me know what it does
on Mac ?
put "abcdefg" & CR into URL "file:b.txt"
put URL "file:b.txt"
open file "b.txt" for append
write "x" to file "b.txt"  at 2
close file "b.txt"
put URL "file:b.txt" after msg
on Win, it produces
abcdefg
abx
Alex,

on OS X.6.2, MBP, Rev 4.0

abcdefg
abcdefg
x

I get what Kay got on OS X 10.5.8, which is the correct behavior. Append is supposed to force any writes to the end of the existing file. I tested some more with the "open for write" command, which should do what Alex was after -- truncating the text at the character offset, and adding any new data at that position. This fails on both Windows and Mac.
