Thanks for the response Richard.  I have the queryfile working and it is
saving the the selected feature but the problem I'm having is that it's
returning the layer's query template when I pan or zoom after the initial
query.  What do I need to do to interact with the map after the query and
still have the selection higlighted on the map image(using the the
queryfile) but not trigger the query template to show up.  The
documentation suggests that using a Browse mode will just produce the map
image but thats not happening in my app.   Am I missing something?  I see
that it works well in your example.

Thanks,
