I'm really sorry but your code then must be trashed.
This code works without any problem on Windows:

Strict

Local Chainsaw:TStream = OpenFile("test.txt")
Local RLine:String = "Testline 3"

If Not Chainsaw
	chainsaw = WriteFile("test.txt")
	chainsaw.writeline("Testline 1")
	chainsaw.writeline("Testline 2")
	chainsaw.writeline("Testline 3")
EndIf

Print StreamPos(Chainsaw)
SeekStream(Chainsaw,StreamPos(Chainsaw)-(Len(RLine)+2)) 'Move the stream position back the length of the line, plus an extra 2 for the "new line" character
Print StreamPos(Chainsaw)
RLine = Left(RLine,Len(RLine)-1) 'Chop the last character (0) off of RLine
RLine = RLine + "1" 'Replace it with a 1
Chainsaw.WriteLine(RLine) 'Write the line back again
Print StreamPos(Chainsaw)

Chainsaw.close()

Keep in mind that with OSX or Linux, it would be +1 on the SeekStream as those have only a single char "newline" representation (either cr or lf, don't know anymore), not a double char (cr + lf) as windows
