Depending on how much text do you want to deal with. For too large text, for example, TStringList is not usable.

Over 2 gigs won't work
But still, until he actually needs to worry about that
TStringList
is always there..

If he does he can learn to use a FileStream

The initial question was how to add text from a memo to a textfile.
From a puristic perspective all solutions that first read the file in a buffer (TStringList or any other kind), then append the text to said buffer and then recreate the file, are undesirable because of the side effects (memory consumption, decreasing performance when the file grows, OS overhead in recreating the file).

So a memorystream instead?

Do not load the file in memory at all!
Not in a memorystream, not in a TStringList, not anywhere.

Only open the file for appending, write the text and close the file.

Your solution applies only for appending text to the end of a text file.
