return and the other options (linefeed, etc.) don't work for me. The only way to get a new line is with crlf (Carriage Return and Line Feed).

I'm using Windows 10.

Put:

dataLine & crlf

After:

file fullPath

To append information to a log file, just do this:

put "this is a new log entry" & return after file "/path/to/log/file"

If the file doesn't exist, it will be created. After that, a new line will be added each time.

If you'll be doing this a lot you may want to create a custom handler that you can call. This one puts the date and time before each log entry:

to logEvent theEvent
  put the abbreviated international time & tab & theEvent & return after file "/path/to/log/file"
end logEvent

Then call it like this:

logEvent "Interesting stuff happened."
