Pat,
echo "text to add" >> file_to_add_to

Pat,

Do a
echo "text" >> filename

This will append the text at the end of file filename

Use >> to append to a file.

echo "line you want to add" >>file

Hi Pat,
if lines are in a file use:
cat filea >>fileb

if you want to add lines in interactive mode:
cat<>fileb
