hw_pConnect -- Make a persistent database connection
Description
int 
hw_pconnect ( string host, int port [, string username, string password] )
     Returns a connection index on success, or FALSE if the connection
     could not be made.  Opens a persistent connection to a Hyperwave
     server. Each of the arguments should be a quoted string,
     except for the port number. The username
     and password arguments are
     optional and can be left out. In such a case no identification with
     the server will be done. It is similar to identify as user anonymous.
     This function returns a connection
     index that is needed by other Hyperwave functions. You can have
     multiple persistent connections open at once.
