I just thought I'd mention that there is a better (I think) way of doing this.
Having done arbitrary file fiddling with TxED before, I stumbled one day
across filezap, on fish disk 10.  Much nicer.  No source, unfortunately.
It's a full screen file zapper.  No documentation, either, but it's actually
helpful as you go along. I'm a little scared to try a file zapper without a
backup, so I copied the file first, but it went ok.

Oh, I used it to make EXECUTE temporary files go to ram rather than disk.
For the little that I use CLI scripts at all, it has worked so far.
Wonder if I should post it.  It makes EXECUTE a little faster, but it's still
no competition for a real command language.
