If your web page that is calling the CGI program uses the GET method,
you'll
have QUERY_STRING available to your program using the GetEnv API without
doing anything.  Most other environment variables are just there for the
taking, so to speak.

For CGI programming, you should be using the xxxENVVAR commands.  You
should
use the QtmhGetEnv (what I call GetEnv) API.  Then you use the QtmhCvtDB
API
to convert them to usable data.

As stated before, an alternative to the GetEnv then CvtDB method is to use
the QzhbCGIParse API.

They're not dumb questions...  I just hope this makes sense.  ;)
