Yes, that's standard practice for FM and something to watch out for if
you're not aware of it. Can be useful though and has been used to
delete files without needing a special plug-in.

Steve: thanks for the Temp folder note. I think the actual location of
the tmp folder will be different on a server (ie, compared with client
OS) but the point is that it's writeable which is useful.
