---------------

      You can test an External Method in the Workspace frame by
      clicking the *Test* tab from the External Method's management
      screen.  When you test an external method, the output of the
      external method will be displayed in your browser.  Unlike
      Script (Python) objects, External Methods provide no mechanism
      for specifying parameter values during testing.  However, like
      Script (Python) objects, their output is influenced by values in
      a query string when you visit them directly.

         Since the Id of the External Method id SalesEM, I expected self.id to output "SalesEM", not "Sales". Why ?
