append one file to another

[Danny Nodal]

Its been a while since I last coded in Python, so please make sure you test
it before trying it so you don't clobber your existing file. Although it may
not be more effecient than what you are doing now or has been suggested
already, it sure cuts down on the typing.

open(outfilename,'a').write(open(infilename).read())

Regards.
