You don't need to use aliases or even shell commands -- to append text to
an existing file in vi, simply say "'a,'b w >> file" ...
This assumes that you've marked the range with "a" & "b", but you can also
use the other usual ways of naming lines (numbers, ".", "$", etc.)
You can also leave out the range altogether and append the entire current
file onto the other file, like so: "w >> file".
Hope that helps...
