Robert,

They are anonymous files created by Files.dir.New or Files.dir.Temp.

Example:

MODULE PrivTemp;
        
        IMPORT
                
                Files;
        
        PROCEDURE Do*;
                
                VAR
                        
                        l: Files.Locator;
                        f: Files.File;
                        w: Files.Writer;
                
                BEGIN (*Do*)
                        l := Files.dir.This("Priv");
                        ASSERT(l.res = 0, 20);
                        f := Files.dir.New(l, Files.dontAsk);
                        ASSERT(l.res = 0, 21);
                        w := f.NewWriter(NIL);
                        w.WriteByte(0);
                        f.Flush;
                END Do;
        
        END PrivTemp.Do;

<Ctrl-Q>PrivTemp.Do;

creates such a file in "Priv" directory.
