Is there a way, using file equations and MPE utilities, to 
concatenate several temporary files into one?  In linux, and 
presumably the MPE Posix shell, this is commonly done via cat.  
However there is no concept of a temporary file within the posix 
HFS so that cat will not operate on MPE temporary files.

I have tried :file pfile;acc=append :print temp1;out=*pfile etc.
and copy temp1, *pfile but subsequent print calls fail while copy 
asks to purge the existing file.

Is there a way to do this short of writing a custom CI command 
script?

Regards,
Jim
