I hope I understand what you are trying to do. As far as I know you can't pass parameters to crystal as such. You can allow the crystal report to ask for parameters and you can control the report by specifying the record selection query in the open window action.This is fine in most cases. There are some occasions where this is not sufficient.
One feature I use to simulate passing parameters from Remedy to Crystal is the use of subreports. If you place your report inside another report as a subreport, parameters can be passed to the subreport from the wrapper report. These paramaters are typically used to build the record selection query. Using this technique you can get a lot of control of your report from Remedy. In simple terms you can call a crystal report with a qualification that acts as a parameter. You then use this qualification to construct the real report qualification inside the subreport. In the subreport you have access to the paramater as well as a record selection derived from it. Without doing something like this you can have a tough time trying to work out what the report is trying to show from the results returned by its qualification. I hope this makes some sense to you. I'm assuming that you know about crystal subreports. If you don't it's worth learning about them as they are a very useful feature.
