[kepler-dev] Using PortParameter as StringParameter

[Edward A. Lee]

All you have to do is call

         setStringMode(true);

on the PortParameter.  If you look at the StringParameter class, you
will see:

     public StringParameter(NamedObj container, String name)
             throws IllegalActionException, NameDuplicationException {
         super(container, name);
         setStringMode(true);
     }

The docs to this (very tiny) class say:

"This subclass is provided mainly
    so that string-mode parameters can be specified in MoML."
