No sweat.

Also the first two blocks of code were meant to be an either/or thing 
showing two completely different possible situations, but I forgot the 
put the "Or" in between. The first is a shell script example, the second 
was an all-within-processing example.
So if you were confused that is why. Sorry!
I see I also forgot to put the close()'s in the first 2 examples though 
they are in the last 2.

Typical shell script (cron job, cgi, menu F5, etc.)

#!/bin/bash
umask 0
export T=/tmp/out.txt
rm -f $T
touch $T
rreport ...
    Then fh = open(getenv("T"),"wt")
    (You don't really need a close() in this case unless you need to do 
something with the file before exiting rreport.)
[... after rreport, do stuff with $T ...]

** OR ** (haha)
Typical clerk/report processing where the file is created, used, and 
disposed of all within processing.

Then: fn = "/tmp/out.txt"
Then: system noredraw "umask 0;rm -f "<fn<";touch"<fn
Then: fh = open(fn,"wt")
[...write to fh ...]
Then: x = close(fh)
[...do stuff with fn...]
Then: x = remove(fn)
