Updating an ascii file is a delicate matter;) You can specify a
driver string for ascii files, CLIP=ON or CLIP=OFF which tells the
driver if it should clip the string before writing it to file. If you
need to modify (not add) the first two characters, you can do that by
using:
ASC:Line[1] = 'A'
ASC:Line[2] = 'B'
Put(AsciiFile)
This will place AB at the first two character positions.
