Subject: Temporary files problems

Hello all,

I am having some problems with the file access predicates and the temporary
files created by other programs in
Windows environments. These predicates tend to generate exceptions.

For instance, the last one I hit is:

?- exists_directory('~$tl0403.txt.p2').
[WARNING: variable `tl0403' does not exist]
   Exception: (  8) exists_directory('~$tl0403.txt.p2') ? 

~$tl0403.txt.p2 is the funny name Word uses for a temporary file.

Is there a simple solution for this problem?

Thank you for any help.

José
