Thanks, Dennis. Worked :-) I just changed the access mode from binary
to text so that Python handles the EOL character correctly, ie. CRLF
for Windows instead of LF for *nix.

For those interested, here's some working code in Windows +
ActivePython:

==========
import glob
    
#activate.tmpl contains the stuff I want to append to each file
f = open("activate.tmpl", "r")
template = "\n\n" + f.read()
f.close()

for frm in glob.glob('*.frm'):
	f = open(frm, "r+")
	content = f.read()
	if 'Form_Activate' not in content:
		f.seek(0,2)
		f.write(template)
	f.close()
==========
