You can pass parameters from a PQA to a PRC by using "palm:" and
"palmcall:" URLs in the PQA.  The main difference is that the palmcall
method is done as a subcall (hence, you have no globals).  The format of
the URL is in the Web Clipping Guide, and the PRC side of things is in the
Palm OS API Reference in the information on the sysAppLaunchCmdURLParams
lauch code.

I'm not sure how much space is allowed for parameters being passed this
way, though.  If you're wanting to grab a query result from a database
server and put it in a Palm database, you're probably better off passing
query information from the PQA, and using the Internet Library (or writing
your own HTTP client) in the PRC and downloading the data you want that
way.
