Its impossible to invoke Clipper without going through its UI a little.
The best you can do is encode all your parameters into GET parameters,
launch it on your complete URL with parameters, and have your server
send back a link using a palm or palmcall URL to reactivate your
application.

It sounds like you need generic get and put code for accessing web
sites. If you want to use INetLib, I'd recommend the chapter that Hari
Bhaskaran wrote in my book "Palm OS Web Application Developer Guide".
Its about 100 pages of all the info on INetLib you'd ever want to know.
