 * My plugin has a function which is will display a listing. It is intended to be
   called from various pages with a parameter. I have set a default value but this
   does not get passed to the function code.
    example code is `function los_mem_test(
   $a=1) { echo “a is[” .$a .”]<br />”; }`
 * this returns _a is[]_.
 * Any ideas please? I’m sure it must be something basic, which I can’t see.
 * Thanks
