It sounds like in your situation (possibly) instead of using parameters you
may wish to just use global variables.  You can use these to pass data from
one form to another.  The syntax is as follows:

:global.myvar := 2;

You don't declare globals and then when you want to assign something to this
value you do it just as you would with a normal variable but you must place
the :global. infront.

Hope this helped.  Good Luck!
