How to add a new item into the end of an existing line?

[Keith Clarke]

The good news is that the SSD issue didn’t cause my stack to crash the IDE - and my thanks to Richard Gaskin who commented on the bug and provided me with a simple button script recipe to empty the fields containing data that was triggering the crash. 

The IDE shouldn’t have been bothered by what was happening, but the RunRev team now has a bug with recipe for repeating it.

Meanwhile, I can get back to implementing all the suggestions on correct syntax to append data to existing lines in a container! :-)
Best,
Keith..
