Hmm, we currently don't cover the above nicely.

What is the above actually supposed to do though? Should we really
write the above in two separate open()+write()+close() cycles? or
would it also work if the above is written as two newline separated
lines within one open()+write()+close() cycle? If  the latter we
should really beef up tmpfiles to accept the usual C escapes in the
argument parameter so that you could specifiy PWRB\nXHC as argument,
in a single line...
