1) by code I see that VTable_AddRecord() calls VTable_AddRecords().

2) so we have 

// put VTable_AddRecord( tblRef [,Values] [,fldDelimeter] ) INTO VAR

// put VTable_AddRecords(  tblRef, Values [,fldDelimeter], [recDelimiter] )
into VAR


3)  Usage is mirror to VTable_GetRecords().

VTable_GetRecords can return you STRING with few records, right?
VTable_AddRecords() can eat it back to add few records in tables.


So everything is clear I think here.


P.S. If this is not mentioned in V4REV API docs you can add into Mantis
        V4REV/Docs section this issue.
