I used this to bang in a line of text + blank line into multiple files. this is an *improved* version of the post from /dev/null.

#! /bin/bash

FILES=/path/to/directory/*

for f in $FILES
  do
      sed -s -i -e '1i Text Here' -e '1i\\' $f
  done

I altered a bit to be more flexible.

place in /usr/local/bin

use:

insertion /path/to/directory/*

#! /bin/bash

FILES='$@'
for f in $FILES
  do
      sed -s -i -e '1i Text Here' -e '1i\\' $@
  done && exit 0

May I recommend to put these thing in /usr/local/bin? Works the same way, and prevents chaos if ever a package named insertion will be downloaded :)
