Why are there tmp files in my main Arachne directory?

[L.D. Best]

I have TEMP set to r:\temp\ ... I even have TMP set to r:\temp\ ...

So why do I find textarea.tmp and 4 or 5 other *.tmp files sitting on my
HDD?

Also, big warning for those who spend hours finding links:  At first it
looks like Hotlist.mgr was working far better than ever before.  So I
trusted it again today, to properly allocate the new links collected
[which always appear at the bottom of the old list] to the correct
areas.  Instead I lost over 20 hours worth of blood, sweat and tears;
all the new links disappeared. :<
