I am trying to figure out where and how the WebFOCUS URL is built.

Here's why:
I have some reports that are built that use a custom .sty sheet. I have placed this file in the Content section in a subfolder in WebFOCUS. I have then applied this .sty sheet to the reports and they run appropriately most places (in an HTML frame, from from App Studio). However, if I right click the report and run it from the content area, the report comes out with some sort of default override .sty sheet. Here is the URL that it spits out:

..http://servername/ibi_apps/views.bip?BIP_REQUEST_TYPE=BIP_RUN&BIP_folder=IBFS%253A%252FWFC%252FRepository%252FFolderName%252FWeb_Reports%252FBookings&WF_STYLE_HEIGHT=600&WF_STYLE_WIDTH=800&BIP_item=TPD_Bookings_chart.fex&BIP_rand=28541&WF_STYLE=IBFS%3A%2FFILE%2FIBI_HTML_DIR%2Fjavaassist%2Fintl%2FEN%2Fcombine_templates%2FENInformationBuilders_Medium1.sty&WF_THEME=BIPIB%5Dhttp://servername/ibi_apps/vie...1.sty&WF_THEME=BIPIB]http://servername/ibi_apps/vie...1.sty&WF_THEME=BIPIB

I see lots of & variables in the url (&WF_STYLE_HEIGHT, &WF_STYLE_WIDTH, &WF_STYLE, &WF_THEME).

1) Where does it get these variables?
2) Where does it get the values for these variables?
3) Is it possible to disable these variables and have the file open up without an assigned default for one of these items?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
