Well, I have description files that contain lots of diverse 
information about how text is to be formatted for different purposes, 
for example, and each is its own database. BUT, they are not open at 
once -- only one at at a time. So if the .tmp file is deleted when it 
is closed that's not a problem at all. Invisible would be nice, 
though.

What about putting them in the Temporary Folder (at least for Mac OS 
X). If I understand that folder correctly (I may not) the file will 
be deleted automatically when the app closes. Maybe you (or someone 
else) can shed light on this...
