In Lasso 8.6 I use the following technique to store a site-wide variable that only needs to be updated every four hours:

cache( -name='regions', -expires=3600*4);
inline( -findall, -database='mydatabase', -table='regions', -keyfield='id', -maxrecords='all' );
global('vl_regions' = records_map(-type='array' ) );
/inline;
/cache;

The "vl_regions" map is fairly compact and is used for building a popup menu that gets displayed often throughout a website. This may not be the best method in Lasso 8, but what would be recommended in Lasso 9?

I’ve done a preliminary scan of the LassoTalk Nabble archive and get the feeling this is may not be a straightforward syntax conversion. Will absorbing this Threading doc put me on the right track?
