This may be what you need is your file in not too large. I am assuming your lines end with a carrage return and line feed ( CHR(13)+CHR(10) ) so you might have to adjust for that.

FileHandle=FOPEN('YourFile') && Open the file
FileEnd=FSEEK(FileHandle, 0, 2) && Move pointer to EOF
=FSEEK(FileHandle, 0) && Move pointer back to BOF
FileStr = FREAD(FileHandle, FileEnd) && Store entire file to varable

* place everything after the 2nd crlf into EndStr
BreakAt = AT(CHR(13)+CHR(10),FileStr,2)+2
EndStr = SUBSTR(FileStr,BreakAt,FileEnd-BreakAt)

* insert your new line, you may need to add a crlf
FileStr = SUBSTR(FileStr,0,BreakAt)+newline+Endstr

* write it back to the file
=FWRITE(FileHandle,FileStr)

* close file
=FCLOSE(FileHandle)
