W2K SP2 / MFrame 1.8 SP3

I know this may be a Citrix issue, but thought mayber Terminal Services works the same way. Not getting any help from Citrix ...

Noticed every time there is a remote access to the server, a group of scs*.tmp files is created in \winnt\temp.
Why are these being created? I can safely delete non-current ones? See sample below of one file's contents. Also seeing some .pdl and .idx but much fewer in number.
Educate me please!

All this is doing is setting the dos environment for the shared environment of TS/Citrix. You can delete the unused ones if you like, but if space isn't a huge consideration it might be best to leave them.
