Thanks to Martha J. Pettengill and Rick DeMinico. Lexis does not allow
you to "unsave" your search history but Westlaw allows you to do it at
signoff if you click on TRAIL after pulling down the More pulldown menu
and selecting Options. Under trail you must check "Delete trail at
sign-Off"

If you know a way to suppress the history on Lexis or Research trail on
Westlaw so that users of public access computers can not see what
previous patrons are researching please reply off list. I will
summarize responses.
