alice-teacher A simpler example of my parameter bug

[Edward Bujak]

I tested the testParams Alice program with 2 versions of Alice 2.2:
[a] Alice (2.2 6/10/2009)[b] Alice (2.2 08/05/2011)

and the boar object  turns left 2 revolutions as you and all of us would expect.
What version of Alice 2.2 are you using (look in the title bar of the Alice window)?

The value of the parameter is mangled into the value 1.0. I created a program this morning which (I believe) illustrates this exact phenomenon.
