Thanks, Dieter.  But for the record, I had "value" associated with the
name of the variable.  (Note the second try above).  However, that
didn't work either.  I had read the source.  Unfortunately, even after
having read that, it still wouldn't work from a python script.  I think
there is something wrong here.
