As others have already said, you can use "put after" to append lines
of text e.g.
    put cr & "29/01/2006" && Tab && "Full Shed" && Tab && \
        "12"  && Tab && "Full Shed" after fld "fldShed"

Another very useful trick is this one liner that deletes any blank lines:
     filter fld "fldShed" without empty
