Is it possible in Toast 9 for MAC to add files to a folder on a CD-RW that's already been burned without having to erase the disk and re-burn the whole thing?  I used to be able to do this with cequadrat just!burn on a Windows 98 computer.  I find it inconceivable that it would be so difficult to do a decade later, yet I can't find any documentation on how to accomplish this in Toast.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

PCs do packet writing which Macs do not do so it is not possible to incrementally add or subtract from a rewritable DVD disc on Macs. I recommend getting a 4 GB USB flash drive that you use for this. When it gets full, copy it to a DVD (R or RW), erase the flash drive and start over.
I'm just a fellow Toast-user so please don't blame Roxio for any misguidance I may provide. And do let me know if your issue gets solved. Cheers from Eugene, Oregon!
