Ok, the append general from, assumes than your file is a bitmap (that's what I supose), if it can´t determine the type of data the file contains.
Has I tell you before, I have done this with Graphs, and this is the code I use:

If Reccount() = 0
Append Blank
Append General GRAPH class "msgraph.chart" data cDatos
Else
If Empty(MVGRAPH.GRAPH)
Append General GRAPH class "msgraph.chart" data cDatos
Else
Append General GRAPH data cDatos
EndIf
EndIf

Has I know the strtofile create a ascii text file, and isn't needed I think.
maybe the class for rtf is RTF or msrtf or the class of your rtf control
and the code become some like this:

Create Cursor curTemp (oRTF G)
append blank
append general oRTF CLASS "rtf" data lcRTFText
SELECT curReportSource
Report form ...
Use In curTemp


Hope this help
