Where to place temporary files on the Nokia 9000.



Q. I want to create a "temporary" VM file that will be wiped out if
   the device is rebooted. Shall I simply put the file in the SP_STATE
   directory (which is emptied automatically on startup on Responder),
   or does another more appropriate directory have this behavior, or is
   there an attribute I can stick on the VM file (I couldn't find one)
   to force this feature?

A. Put it into SP_WASTE_BASKET which is actually [state], that is
   cleaned when GEOS boots.
