solved the setting checkbox problem by:

<al-exec expr="albatross_token = 'on'">

<al-input type="checkbox" name="albatross_token" 
valueexpr="line.value().checked" checked  list 
onclick="CCA(this,'mystery');DownReset();" >

simple but nonobvious.  I set the attribute albatross_token to always have a 
value of "on".  Then in the checkbox definition, I set valueexpr to have the 
value of "checked" which is an on/off value I calculate when defining the line 
parameters.

Next trick is extracting *all* checkbox values...
