[Coco] Disk BASIC - OPEN with append?

[Arthur Flexser]

I'm also more than a bit vague on this stuff, having done minimal sort of
playing around with this sort of data file.  I do remember that there was a
distinction between sequential and direct-access (random-access) files.
Maybe the latter might be better for your purposes.

If the file length isn't extendable, you could always set up a file of a
length longer than you need, padded with dummy characters, and use direct
access to change its contents as needed.
