Elvis uses a temporary file that it stores in C:\TMP by default. You can change this
by setting the environment variable TMP or TEMP to a directory of your choice.

By the way, Elvis writes to the screen using the BIOS by default. You can set
the environment variable TERM=ansi or TERM=nansi in order to use ANSI.SYS or
NANSI.SYS device drivers (depending what you've loaded in config.sys of course :-)
