I may well have used Ctrl-break to get out of LYNX when I couldn't get   
it to stop attempting to make a connection... Even so, 27000 temporary
files is huge number to have been created in such a short time
frame. I'd suspect there is some code which is slightly amiss in the
handling of temporary files.

Just in case LYNX does not delete temporary files, is there a filename
template I can use to identify them for deletion during my normal
daily housekeeping?
