Read in the whole file, reopen the file in creation mode, add the new line, then write all the old data back.

well u can read the new line to a variable then overwrite the whole thing with the new line and then add the old lines at the end...
this seems to me like a very slow way to do it so there is probably some better way....which I don't know

..but I think it should work.
