I think append would be OK.  In most obvious case, the screen for A
looks like
foo    bar
xxx
     yyyy

And for B it would be 
foo    bar
xxx
     yyyy
zzz
aaa

And then for C
foo    bar
xxx
     yyyy
zzz
aaa
qqq     tttt


And then if I extend A by adding some more data or info on the screen
foo    bar
new stuff
xxx
     yyyy


C ends up looking like
foo    bar
new stuff
xxx
     yyyy

zzz
aaa
qqq     tttt
