The GoToParams structure has two flaws that make it unsuitable for this
situation:
1) It assumes that the app only uses one database (this flaw applies
even when the structure is used for its intended purpose)
2) It identifies a record by index, which is likely to change. I have
not examined HyperHack extensively, but I doubt it stores the record
index internally. It probably stores the Unique ID then converts that
to an index to pass to the app.
