DisplayString type as table index

Hi,

I've a question on using fixed or variable length
DisplayString type as a table index.

What I've is a mib table that is indexed by name which
is defined as DisplayString type. My specific question is:

how do I specify the DisplayString type instance
information to scotty?

I was sending the index OIDs in the following format which
didn't work:

oid.foo (where oid is in dotted notation)

However, when I converted each ascii character of the name
(example name used below: foo) to decimal and specified them
in dotted notation as follows, it seemed to work:

oid.102.111.111

Do scotty apply textual conventions for index variables that
are defined as DisplayString?

thanks in advance,
/mani
