Thanks to all who responded that the primative \jobname produces the name
of the root file. Apparently this is considered so esoteric that it is
in the TeXBook only in `double dangerous bends' and not in such _logical_
places as the description of the \read and \write commands!
   As to TeX's interaction with the operating system, some said that such
things are intentionally rudimentary so as to make TeX as system-independent
as possible. I reject this argument: the same goal is sought for most
high level programming languages but they manage to allow file deletion and
other services. The system dependencies are handled in the compilers and/or
library routines. I also believe that there can be situations where temporary
files might be written and where it might be a good idea to delete them
at the end of a job. I do not actually have any such situation in mind, I
simply wanted to know what was available.
