Actually, it would be the reverse (put the return first): 
 
put return & fld "tnewscommentshock" after fld "shockcomment" 
 
However keep in mind that the first time this is executed, if fld 
"shockcomment" is empty, you'll get a leading <return> character that you 
probably don't want. 
 
Here's one way to do it: 
 
if fld "shockcomment" is empty then 
put fld "tnewscommentshock" into fld "shockcomment" 
else 
put return & fld "tnewscommentshock" after fld "shockcomment" 
end if 
 
Another way is to "trim" the data (there was a discussion here that putting 
word 1 to -1 of a string would trim off any leading/trailing white space) 
and do it in one go (watch line wraps): 
 
put word 1 to -1 of (fld "shockcomment" & return & fld "tnewscommentshock") 
into fld "shockcomment" 
 
Anyway, that gives you some ideas...
