Thanks for the help.

will append the abcdef to the end of the existing testfile.txt
Unfortunately, this isn't exaclty what I meant.

What I wanted was to be able to use VB6 to open a command prompt (which I've managed) and then telnet onto a server by sending keypresses to the command prompt (which I've also managed) and I wanted the output for the command prompt to be sent to a file on my local machine.

I thought the best way to do this would be an equivalent of << in Unix

I have however, managed to get around it by running my telnet commands on the server and sending its output to a file on the server and then using Inet to FTP the file to my local computer.

Thanks to everyone.
