Copy a + b a sys cmd

Hi:

I have two files a.txt and b.txt. b.txt has information that I want to append onto a.txt. a.txt is empty (0 kb).

When I issue the cmd "copy a.txt + b.txt a.txt", a.txt now has all of b.txt + an extra character,hex code 1A, appended at the end. b.txt never had this char. a.txt s/b exact copy of b.txt Where is this extra char comming from and how do I stop this behavior?

Actually, after it was adding the extra char, I was forcing a /A copy - wrong logic.

Thanks!
