There could be more process that that create these, but if I do something like:

     ls -l * 
     r | more
 
I will see a /tmp/sh??????? created that has "ls -l *" in it.

Basically if I issue any command and then do

    r | more

I will see the last command I entered. 

I have always just assumed that the "/tmp/sh???????" files were temporary files 
created when doing certain shell commands/processes.
