i wanted to use the writer (file) to write some sort of protocoll - but is has no appand mode? is this right?

i would be nice to have a additional toggle or switch overwrite / append

yes. and desirable.
two workarounds:

create a batchfile (called e.g. append.bat) which contains
echo %1 >> file

the >> redirection under dos appends the stdout of the called program to the given file

call that batch file with shellexecute. enter your data in double quotes to the commandline argument pin.

or

use a freeware syslog daemon like
http://www.kiwisyslog.com/info_syslog.htm and send your data via udp.
