Thanks for the quick response John,

I wasn't clear if it was used when using "-O"?  It's not completely obvious:

          <prefix> is required unless the -o or -O options are used.

    At the moment if you want them to appear somewhere in particular other than 
/tmp (which is probably your smallest temp space!), you get to specify it each 
time using collate's optional <prefix> command line argument. See
