I'm not sure that's the best one-liner for what I mean. I used to use directory windows and unnamed windows made with 'New' for scratch space in Acme. Now I create a guide file for the project I'm working on and use it for temporary notes, commands, and the names of files that I'm working with. The commands get an appropriate working directory, the notes get some context (i.e. what project they go with), and I don't get warned to save the file when I exit, but I can still save it if I want to.
