Jennifer,

Set-up your script so that it just writes out the complete MIF with
the new contents. A MIF file doesn't have to be complex. In your case,
you only need the starting header line and the variable section with
the new entries.

For example,

<MIFFile 7.00> # Generated by MyApplication
<VariableFormats 
 <VariableFormat 
  <VariableName `MyVariable'>
  <VariableDef `Whatever I want'>
 > # end of VariableFormat
 <VariableFormat 
  <VariableName `MyOtherVariable'>
  <VariableDef `Whateverelse I want'>
 > # end of VariableFormat
 
 etc.
 
 > # end of VariableFormats

That's it. Quite simple isn't it? You can even string the entire
VariableFormat definition on a single line - it's only split-up for
readability in the MIF manual examples.

Now all you have to do is import (by COPY) this file into your
existing FM file and all of the identically named variables will be
updated.
