declaimed the following:

>If you want to read an entire file, append a space and asterisk and write it to another file, this is the code you need:
>
>infile = open('win.txt', 'r')
>text = f.read()
>infile.close()
>text += " *"
>outfile = open('outfile.txt', 'w')
>outfile.write(text)
>outfile.close()
>

	If appending a " *" to the very end of the file, and as implied, it be
the same file:

fup = open("theFile.txt", "a")
fup.write(" *")
fup.close()
