Description

Appends the text to a notepad window of the given title. If no such window exists, it is created.

The function "AppendToNotepad" does not activate (bring to the front) the notepad window. However the function "ActivateNotepad" can be used to do that.

You can use world.activate to activate the world itself (eg. you might want to do that after creating a notepad window).

You might use GetNotepadLength to check if there is likely to be room in the notepad for the new text.
VBscript example 
world.AppendToNotepad "Nick's window", "More stuff" + vbcrlf
Jscript example 
world.AppendToNotepad("Nick's window", "More stuff\r\n");
PerlScript example 
$world->AppendToNotepad("Nick's window", "More stuff\r\n");
Python example 
world.AppendToNotepad("Nick's window", "More stuff\r\n")
Lua example 
AppendToNotepad("Nick's window", "More stuff\r\n",
                "another line")
Lua notes 
You can supply multiple arguments after the notepad name, which are concatenated together.
Returns 0: Could not do it.
1: Appended OK
