Thanks Jacque. I kept seeing it as "line 2 to the end" and so expected
it to go there.
I now see it; so I can simply do
constant infinity=9999999999
put "a" & CR into t; put "b" into line 2 to infinity of t
and I get the right (i.e. desired :-) answer.
Thanks !!

This code

a
b
BUT
put "a" & CR into t; put "b" into line 2 to -1 of t; put t
produces
ba
Why should adding the "to -1" change this to put the new data before
what was there before ?
It's because of how the engine ignores trailing delimiters. The
variable t contains only one line, so "line 2 to -1" evaluates to
"line 2 to 1".
