Location[(string | variable)]
Location lets you get or set the name of the current app. It will return the URL of the current app that you are running. If you want to run another app or go to a web page, assign the URL of that app to Location. In this respect, it works similarly to the Chain statement found in some other implementations of BASIC.
To send parameters to the next app, put a question mark (?) followed by the string after the new app name.

Send your own query string (instead of Form Submit())
location.href="http://someurl.com/index.html?parameter1=one¶meter2=two"
Open a web page:
location.href = "http://news.google.com"
Open the Phone app:
document.location.href = "tel:+1-800-555-1234"
Read the query string which was passed to your app
queryParams = location.search
