pgn files are only ascii files.
Save as plain text file afterwards.

$ file1.png file2.pgn could work ...

In Unix/Linux: cat input1.pgn input2.pgn input3.pgn output.pgn

In DOS/Windows: copy input1.pgn + input 2.pgn + input3.pgn output.pgn

I don't know about Macs but you could certainly cut and paste with a text
editor.

Well, since Mac OS X is a kind of Unix, opening the Terminal and using
cat works the same.

Actually, Mac OS X *is* Unix, so cat works fine. Just open a window in
the Terminal application and type the command as below. It's been too
long since I used OS 9 and below to remmber, but I think you might
have to download BBedit lite or something and use that.

Actually, it would be even easier to run the command like this:

cat *pgn file.txt

If all your pgn files are in the same directory.
