appending to the begining of a file

Is there an append mode that starts at the BEGINNING of a file? r+ will write over anything that's already there. For instance, if I have the file: All that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to heaven. and I open the file with r+, and 'add' the text: There's a lady who's sure Then the resulting file is: There's a lady who's sure And she's buying a stairway to heaven. But I want: There's a lady who's sure All that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to heaven. Was this clear? Anybody have any ideas?
