Octet String

I'm fairly new to Scotty and SNMP, but I didn't see this information
anywhere. The man page says that ..

SNMP data types are mapped to a Tcl string representation
automatically.

So I tried to instance an OCTET string with binary data. It didn't
seem to do the binhex conversion. Is this wrong?

# read data from file into instance
$s instance app_data.0 app_data [read $fileid]

app_data is defined in the MIB as type "OCTET STRING". Any help would
be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
