If it's all within the same session, use a list, named something like
gUserList, and when they sign up, add them to the list.
You'd also need a variable, like gCurrentUser to indicate which user (1..n)
is currently active. Then you could reference gUserList[gCurrentUser] to
get the name of the current user.
Init list in very beginning:
gUserList =[]
gCurrentUser =0
Then, get the name.
Then, add to list:
add(gUserList, thisUsersName)
gCurrentUser =gCurrentUser + 1
Then, at any time, switch gCurrentUser to be whatever user you want. Refer to:
gUserList[gCurrentUser]
to get the current name.
To store between sessions, look at SetPref and GetPref functions.
