I am not sure why FINFO was working for you against the TEMP file
on your development system in the first place, but most likely
you had a permanent file of the same name.  To get FINFO to look
in the TEMP domain a fileq equation is required.  E.g.
    file x=cilista;temp
    if finfo("*x","eof") = 2 then

FINFO just calls the FLABELINFO intrinsic so reading how this
intrinsic works for TEMP files will shed some light too.
