PMFJI. You can use STRTOFILE() function.

lcCrLf = CHR(13) + CHR(10)
* Add 3 blank lines
STRTOFILE(REPLICATE(lcCrLf,3), "thewords.txt", .T.)

>Thanks Tracy, it worked. Here is another one for you:
>I am using copy memo words to thewords.txt additive copy the contents of a memo field into a text file and want to add several lines after the contents are copied into the text file before I move to the next record (song) in my table and do another copy memo command. How do I insert blank lines after a copy memo command?
