  \layout Standard
  
! GNUE Forms approaches the user interface differently than many applications.
!  In GNUE Forms the user interface exists as two separate pieces.
   The first is a virtual form that exists in memory and reflects the structure
   and state of the user interface.
   The second is a slave hierarchy of widgets which are created by a UI driver

! One major difference in GNUE Forms applications vs typical widget based
   applications is in regard to focus.
!  Focus in an GNUE Forms application typically occurs at the logical hierarchy
   level and is then reflected in the UI.

+ Passing Parameters
+ \layout Standard

+ GNUe Forms supports passed parameters via the command line.
+  To send parameters, append param=value pairs to your command line.
+  For example, to run the form myform.gfd with a parameter named 
+ \begin_inset Quotes eld
+ \end_inset 
+ 
+ company
+ \begin_inset Quotes erd
+ \end_inset 
+ 
+  set to 101, do: 
+ \layout Standard
+ 
+ gnue-forms myform.gfd company=101
+ \layout Standard
+ 
+ Parameters can be used inside <conditions> (for datasources) or can be 
accessed
+  by triggers with the form.getParameter() function.
