Is it possible to append to a file using OpenFile?  When I use OF_WRITE, the
existing file data gets overwritten.  I can't use OF_REOPEN because I'm
working with a permanent data file so the OFSTRUCT info will get lost every
time the program terminates.  Is there a way (thru Windows) to move the file
pointer?

I know I could just use regular C file routines but I'd like to stick with
the Windows file routines if possible.  Thanx in advance for any info/help.
