What you are referring to is the GET method of sending information.  You 
can program it into a URL or use GET instead of POST as the method in a 
HTML form.

In such cases the format is www.abc.com?x=1&y=2&z=3

You have to have name pairs separated by & with the ? separating the URL 
from the name pairs.

I'm tired, can't explain it better than that at present :)
