so you keep a separate hash-table which the objects? The assiciation
is done with the session-id? I ask because in webactions they wrote:

(webaction-project "simpleproject"
		   :destination "site/"
		   :index "home"
		   :map
		   '(("home"   "pageone.clp")
		     ("second" "pagetwo.clp")))

As I understand this is one projects. Then I looked through the
examples but did not see that the handle objects between the diverse
requests therefor I was wondering how one did it. I was thinking
around this lines.


(let ((obj1 obj2 obj3)....
  (webaction....

)

So thinking about using closure around one web project. But I'm not sure
how bad this really is. I have tried to get my application going with
UCW for more than 4 weeks now and I simply do not get it. Webactions
seems to be much easier to understand and apply. I feel if you are not
comfortable with something like UCW after 4 weeks work, then it can't
be just my "lack" of understanding..
