If you mean move the rest of the file down a couple lines, you can't really do it. Instead you create a new file, write the information to it, and then copy the rest of the original file into it. If you don't mind extra space at the beginning of your file, you could put a block of spaces (or other filler) character at the beginning of your file when you initially create it, and when you're done, you can rewind (seek) to the start of the file and write the new information over the filler region. That would save you (or some other code) from doing the copy.
