You could have a filePro file containing the workstation name and filePro
login name.  (You can get the workstation name from @USTAT["2"].)  When
you log in, update/create the record for that workstation.  You can also
include additional information, such as login date/time and perhaps a
date/time when the login will be required again.  When you finish up for
the day, clear/delete that record.

You can then check the current login by looking up to this file based on
the workstation name.
