I think - but I don't have VFP with me right now - that APPEND MEMO would append the text file into the memo.
Also, if you need to do some additional processing, you can FileToStr() into a variable, do any requried manipulation with the text variable, and then just use REPLACE to put the result into the memo.
FileToStr() is available in VFP 6 or later; for earlier versions, there are UDFs that emulate it.
