/**
* This program demonstrates file and list processing.
*
* It creates a temporary file, adds data to the file, and reads the file
* into a list of lists. It then provides a menu of options for displaying
* and searching the file data.
*
* It will not run if the file already exists.
*
* Input:
* None
*
* Output:
* A temporary file and file contents.
