Our application, which I inherited, stores each user's login with a GUID in WWSTATE. Every time you go to a new web page, it checks the date/time stamp and as long as it is within the defined time, it updates the time stamp and lets you continue, otherwise it logs you out.
Knowing this, I build SAVEDLISTS using the user's GUID as part of the key. When my GARBAGE.COLLECT2 runs in the middle of the night, it looks for WWSTATE records that have exceeded the time limit, and deleted the offenders. When I get to the SAVEDLISTS, if the GUID in the SAVEDLIST has been removed from WWSTATE, I know the SAVEDLIST is also obsolete and delete it as well. Other things follow this concept. Since we have very little activity in the middle of the night, and that is when GARBAGE.COLLECT2 runs, these files tend to get cleared out each night, and if not totally cleared, then 95% or better.

With regard to &SAVEDLISTS&, look at the LOGIN and ON.EXIT verbs, along with GET.STACK and SAVE.STACK. In the days of network logins, personal stacks now seem to multiply like tribbles. These will allow you to get back the way it was supposed to be, one stack per person.
