It seems that when msdos sees a pipe such as DIR|SORT >junk,
it puts the intermediate results in a file in the *current working
directory*.  Is there any way to coerce the the temp files somewhere
else, such as another drive L: or into a special subdirectory like
C:\TMP??

        Email preferred--thanks.
