I have had a few private responses. None took up the challege
of what could be done in a class. All of them told me
about the NCSA httpd .htaccess process and that the cgi-bin
scripts could look at REMOTE_USER to get the name of the person.
You can use the hidden input tool to pass the information
between pages.
But the key is that you are always running a cgi-bin script
that uses an HTML page to pass parameters to the next script.
Without that focus, it is hard.
We did think up a way to use dynamically created directories, but
I think that it is unstable.

I was not, but tell me more. Perhaps I will try to attend.
