its only 25 bytes, why not do this?

include get.e
include file.e

integer fn
sequence bytes

-- open file for reading
fn = open("mytext.txt", "r")
-- buffer the data
bytes = get_bytes(fn, 25)
-- close file
close(fn)

-- open file for writing
fn = open("mytext.txt", "w")
-- output buffer
puts(fn, bytes)
-- output our data
puts(fn,"Aha!\n")
-- close the file
close(fn)
