Pekka,
I've been looking for the same thing. Here is what I found in the manual
(although i havent tried it yet) :
if externalParamName ("swURLString") = "swURLString" then
myVariable = externalParamValue ("swURLString")
end if
Check out those functions in the help/manual - i think they will do what you
want.
best wishes
Nick
