Aha! I didn't think to check PLaneT. Thanks.
;; with-temporary-file
;; creates a temporary file and automatically deletes it when finished
(define-syntax with-temporary-file
(syntax-rules ()
[(_ file (args ...) e1 e2 ...)
(let ([file (make-temporary-file args ...)])
(dynamic-wind
void
(lambda () e1 e2 ...)
(lambda ()
(when (file-exists? file)
(delete-file file)))))]))
Looks awfully familiar :-)

Imagine this movie with Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray
and it would work for you. Better still, just rent "Double
Indemnity" and the hell with it.
