I'm using the TEXTMERGE command to combine several text files into one as follows:

SET TEXTMERGE ON TO myfile.txt ADDITIVE

FOR m.liFile = 1 TO 10
   * variable 'sometextfile' below will change to a different filename...
   m.lcFileContent = FILETOSTR(sometextfile)
   TEXT PRETEXT 1+2+4
   <<m.lcFileContent>>
   ENDTEXT
ENDFOR

=CLOSE(_TEXT)

After running this code, the resulting file always has an empty line preceeding the contents of each individual line even though I've specified the PRETEXT value of 2.

Is this a bug or am I screwing up somewhere?

TIA
Mike
