&SAVEDLISTS& is the only type 1/19 file guaranteed to be there. Others that
may be there are &TEMP&, &PH&, &COMO&, &HOLD&, and &MAP&. Also, the UV
account has a BP file which is a type 19. Most accounts have a BP unless
deleted. Why not make your own type 19 file to handle scripts?

Subject: escaping "&temp&" in dos diectory
Just a quick curly one, UV 10 Windows.
I need to run a script in a &temp& directory because that's the only one
that is generally going to be a type 1/19 in any given account.
The ampersands are causing me grief, does anyone know how to escape them? If
it's not possible, I'll just write it to a path but I would prefer it to be
there for houskeeping.
execute 'dos /c cscript &temp&/myscript.vbs' capturing cap
Regards,
Stuart Boydell
