Indeed.

If you have a way to retrieve the names of the last files used (as mentioned, e.g. in a local table), do a define bar for every file.

If you're looking for a way to save user data between sessions, you may check out my login system. It's on the 'files'-secion of thread, under 'classes', named 'LoginSystem'.
