I'm trying to pass an *output* parameter to an input parameter widget.
The value is passed correctly but the input widget is never updated.
What am I doing wrong?

The Map Editor is supposed to disallow wiring parameters "across the
line" that appears on the input/output pop-up menus.  (Here you are
going from an output above the line of one module, to an input below
the line on another module.)  But it appears that it is sometimes still
possible.

It is surprising that any data is passed correctly, since I didn't 
intentionally include the code to get the data across for that case.
Its unfortunate that anything works, since it doesn't completely
work (a missing feature becomes a definite bug).

That functionality doesn't work in Explorer 1.0.

I don't think the code that prevents the wiring went in until after 1.0.
