[albatross-users] can't figure out why it's flipping me the bird

I'm doubly confused them.  In my first example you'll notice that I set the 
value of albatross_token before using any input statement.  In that example, 
each name is set to the value of albatross_token.  I'm trying to do the same 
thing in the second example.  As you'll see, I'm setting the value with a 
al-exec expr... statement.  I did try the nameexpr version but you notice that I 
also have a valueexpr to set the value of each input.  If I use nameexpr then I 
cannot use valueexpr.

So, how do I set the name and the value fields in each input?  (This really 
should not be this hard although I know it is for many systems like albatross)
