[Info-vax] create a file with temporary double extension.

[HCorte]

Is it possible to create a file with the following name?                                    
FILETEST.TMP.ASC

.TMP extension as the name implies is only temporary, the easy solution would be would be FILETEST_TMP.ASC instead of the dot would be the underscore character.

create filetest.tmp.asc

originates the following errors:

%CREATE-E-OPENOUT, error opening ....FILETEST^.TMP.ASC; as output
-RMS-E-CRE, ACP file create failed
-SYSTEM-W-BADFILEVER, bad file version number

So just whant to understand if there is a workaround or just simplifie and use the easy solution, thanks.
