The user field, form field, or cookie. If the Unknown value (?) is specified, a comma-delimited list of all user fields, form fields, and cookies is returned.

Using set-user-field, one Web object can make data available to other Web objects. A Web object can access that information with the get-user-field or get-value functions.
User fields are cleared with each new Web request.
