Mark – .PWL is a lock file lock file (and that's not double talk). It normally exists only briefly, as AutoCAD initializes the graphics screen, to protect the .PWK file which has locked the .PWD file. Evidently your users' computers crashed at the precise moment that the .PWL file existed, so it remained on their hard drives.
