NAME
       append - Append to variable

SYNOPSIS
       append varName ?value value value ...?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________


DESCRIPTION
       Append  all  of  the  value  arguments  to the current value of variable varName.  If varName doesn't
       exist, it is given a value equal to the concatenation of all the value arguments.  The result of this
       command is the new value stored in variable varName.  This command provides an efficient way to build
       up long variables incrementally.  For example, ``append a $b'' is much more efficient  than  ``set  a
       $a$b'' if $a is long.
