Ah, yes.

Code

echo %a% > %HOMEPATH%\math.txt

overwrites the file

Code

echo %a% >> %HOMEPATH%\math.txt

appends to the file

so just make sure the first time you access the file, you overwrite the old one, then just append to it after that

It's windows batch, or ms-dos I guess. Not really sure what the official name is. Basically you save a text file as something.bat then you just type the name of the file from the command prompt to execute it. Typically its used for quick down and dirty stuff (and the code you see above is very down and dirty).
