If I remove the 'rm /tmp/fpfile$$' from the command the file does exist in 
/tmp and I can less the file from the command line.  When I leave the 'rm 
/tmp/fpfile$$' in place the file no longer exists in /tmp which leads me to 
believe the file is deleted by the rm command.  Since rm is executed less 
must be executed, which is why I am scratching my head wondering why less 
is not displaying the file.
