GetTempPath()

Gets the name of the directory used by Maptitude to store temporary files.

dir = GetTempPath()

A string containing the complete path.

Maptitude uses the system environment variable TEMP or TMP to find the default temporary path. You can override this by setting the CALIPER_TEMP environment variable. The program stores all its temporary files in a subfolder called Maptitude. This is usually C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temp\MAPTITUDE\ where User is your user name.
The folders in the path may have the 8.3 naming convention, with long folder names truncated to six characters plus a tilde (~) and a digit to make them unique.
The returned path includes a trailing backslash.
On program startup, all existing files are removed from the Maptitude temporary folder.

dir = GetTempPath()

f = OpenFile(dir + "myfile.tmp", "w")

WriteLine(f, "Testing temp path.")

CloseFile(f)
