You can do that by using this general construct:

Code:
string="$string <value to be concatenated to string>"

And you can keep doing this for as many concatenations as you like.

Code:
> cat file1
#!/usr/bin/ksh
string="A string"
string="$string has been lengthened"
echo $string

> ./file1
A string has been lengthened
