Published On: July 13, 2001

Use the command WR Count to determine the length of the document:

$length:=WR Count(myWriteArea; wr nb characters)

Then use WR SET SELECTION to set the insertion point:

WR SET SELECTION(myWriteArea;$length;$length)

Last but not least insert your new text (append):

WR INSERT TEXT(myWriteArea; myText)
