    Just use the following Hypertalk fragment:

open "/mydisk/myfile"
write field "field1" to file "/mydisk/myfile"
write field "field2" to file "/mydisk/myfile"
[...]
close "/mydisk/myfile"

    In the intervening [...], you can do whatever else you need to do
(insert returns in the file, go to the next card, etc.)  This is all
documented in the "Hypertalk Help" stack.
