According to your code, FormA already has a reference to FormB. So FormB do not need anything to send 'back'. FormA can access public PEM on formB. However you'd need a little adjustment in your code:
1) Call formB as a modal form so it waits for it to finish.
Thisform.p_module.show(1)
2) Do not release but just hide formB to let the code continue following show(1) line. Then formB can read whatever it wants from formB (so formB in a sense is not bound to send back a single variable - this works great when you need to collect multiple information from user. ie: startdate,enddate,customer ID etc)
The downside is callers of formB should know its objects (not a blackbox form where you send a parameter and receive a parameter back). Might be acceptable in many cases.
