Following the instructions in the readme.txt , the example will not work; bad syntax:

http://www.drupalsite.org/node/add/blog?edit[title]=this is the title&edit[body]=body goes here

Here, they were going to add a new blog entry and set the title. Won't work, should be:

http://www.drupalsite.org/node/add/blog&edit[title]=this is the title&edit[body]=body goes here

'blog?edit...' is wrong

Title: README.txt needs some help » README.txt assumes clean URLS
Status: Active » Needs review

I don't think so. This works fine for me. The current README.txt Is based on clean URLs being enabled so perhaps that should be documented.

For example:

if you do not have clean URLs enabled then your links would look like:

http://www.example.com/?q=node/add/blog&edit[title]=this is the title&edit[body]=body goes here

Hardly criticial, imo.

The DRUPAL-5 branch now includes a USAGE.txt file:

http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/prepopulate...

As soon as I figure out how to add it to the tagged releases, this should be fixed.

Release 5.x-1.2 includes a USAGE.txt file with lots of examples, including a few with non-clean URLs.
