Strange new RoboHelp file types

There are some weird file types showing up in my RoboHelp project: trb, .trf, .tridxl, .trk, .trl, .trs., .trt, .trtocl, .trv.
I've seen two postings in the RoboHelp forums, but no one seems to know why they're appearing. I found them with Beyond Compare when I was getting ready to check them into source control (Microsoft Visual Studio).

Does anyone know what these are? They didn't show up in Adobe's knowledgebase or in a Google search.

Hi Gina.
If you display your output view when you compile, are there are messages displayed which would give a clue as to why these files are left behind?

I'm not positive, but I think I saw some of these before. They were temporary files that appeared during output generation. When RH was done generating the output files, the files disappeared.

If I'm recalling/identifying these files correctly, then maybe that means your output generation didn't terminate cleanly. I wouldn't put those files into source control.

OK, I just saw this in action. The files do appear during output generation. They go away when you close the dialog box that tells you help was generated.

I'm using RH6.
