Try : cat $HOME/somefile >> $HOME/anotherfile 1>/dev/null

Can't try it myself at the moment, but may work.

Later ...

Actually, what you had initially was ok ( cat $HOME/somefile >> $HOME/anotherfile ) - just tested it then.
When you use the `>>` you are directing STDOUT to the second file so the first file won't scroll bye.

SYNOPSYS

       tuxpaint-import [--help]

       tuxpaint-import filename(s)

DESCRIPTION

       tuxpaint-import is a simple shell script which uses some NetPBM (pnm(5)) tools (anytopnm, pnmscale and pnmtopng) along with date(1) to con-
       vert an arbitrary image file (e.g., a JPEG, GIF, etc.) into a PNG(5) file which can be used by the drawing program Tux Paint  (tuxpaint(1))
       and places it in the user's Tux Paint saved-files directory ($HOME/.tuxpaint/saved/).

EXAMPLE

       tuxpaint-import picture.jpg photo.png cartoon.gif

ENVIRONMENT

       $HOME   to determine where the files should go so that they can be access within Tux Paint using its Open command.

FILES

       $HOME/.tuxpaint/saved
	       where new image files are stored, after being resized and converted into PNG format.

       $HOME/.tuxpaint/saved/.thumbs
	       where thumbnail images are stored.
