AW: where do I find the temp folder on a Mac?

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hi Dave and Klaus,
enlightning :) I found my temp as you described under 1.
Why I wanted to find it? Because I write some stuff into it (which is being
deleted after program end) and I wanted to SEE (with my eyes:), if I wrote
it to the right place.
Thanks Tiemo
