Subject: How to 'link' Oracle's SQL*Forms and SQL*Report?

For a few weeks I have been using Oracle's SQL*Forms and SQL*Report. My only
grief with SQL*Report is that it's user interface facilities are very
restricted. The ASK and TELL commands aren't quite enough to build input screens
or whatever user interface I'd like to build.

My question is: is there a way to have these two programs work harmoniously
together? Is there a way for example to have a form acting as a 'pre-report
screen' and that would gather information that would then be passed to 
SQL*Report as variables?

Since these two software are part of the same package I'd really tend to
expect them to be able to work together. Am I missing something?
