Given:
* Your file ("old_file") is in alphabetical order
* old_file is immensely big

Required:
* Adding word ("new_word") to old_file at the right place.

Solution:
* Sequentially read old_file ("word_read") and write word_read to new_file
* If (new_word > word_read) and (new_word< word_read+1) then shove it in
