Save the file using a name that is relevant to the contents of the file. Append the
current date to the end of the file name.

Examples:

tellDhct-in_06.13.05 for a file that was created on June 13, 2005

Our engineers recommend that you save the file to the /tmp directory on the
DNCS, for a file that you will use only once. For a file that you may re-use, create
a directory for the file under /export/home.
