syntax:!form ``cmdvar''

mean:Creates a html form pointing to the wims server. <br>\

  Whenever possible, this command should be used instead of a direct use of\

  html tag ``&lt;form&gt;''. <br>\

  This command will create a <form> tag pointing to the wims server, adding\

  <input> fields to pass session number (and other reserved things in the\

  future). In lines which follow, other input (or select) fields may be\

  added to the form. A final ``!formend'' must also be added by the\

  programmer. <br> ``cmdvar'' is an optional parameter. Its value should be a valid\

  value for the variable ``cmd''. In this case the value ``cmdvar'' will \

  be automatically submitted to the variable ``cmd''. If this parameter is missing \

  or is invalid, then the programmer should add a \

  ``<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="..." />'' tag before the\

  final ``&lt;/form&gt;''. <p>\

  The target of the form can be controlled by the variable ``wims_ref_target''. \

  It can also be defined via an optional word ``target=...''. Note that in this case \

  the target must start with ``wims_''.\

  </p><p>\

  The variable ``wims_form_method'' which must be either ``get'' or ``post'' controls the method \

  of the form. This method defaults to ``post'' for tool modules, and to ``get'' for all\

  other modules.\
