If file isn't to big you can use FILETOSTR() to read file into memory, convert a return character to some other charater that isn't present in the file and save it to disk with STRTOFILE(). After append you can convert that charater back to the return character if it's required.

>Hello,
> I am trying to import a comma delimited text file to a table. One of the text field contains a return character. If I use append from it treats as a different record, could someone tell me is there some command I can use so it will import the data properly without writing a long program??? thanks in advance.
