Usefull One Line Script for OS9

I found that OS 9 does not delete the files inside the hidden "Temporary
Items" folder as previous OS did. I remember that in older systems, after
you had a crash, you found a folder named "Saved Items from <Startup
Volume>" in the trash.

Files living in the "Temporary Items" folder can take a lot of disk
space. I found a 600MB Photoshop temp file in mine (with sherlock).

Using this one line script, you can clean your "Temporary Items" folder:
tell application "Finder" to delete every item of temporary items folder

I would not use this script while working with other applications, but it
could be happy in the "Startup Items" Folder.

have fun
Nir Soffer
