AppendFile but in this case Microsoft Word files

Is it possible to append 2 or more binary files e.g. Microsoft Word files. The AppendFile command syntax talks about sourcefile1 sourcefile2 and they use *.txt files as examples - are you limited to text files only?

Thanks for any input on this.

RE: batch file

I tried both suggestions above - no go.

The long batch file pilot.bat does run and does complete but I still cannot get the system to restart or reboot with the suggestions provided.

I will continue to explore a method.

Thanks for all who have assisted me.
