Yes, it treats the *value* as an OID. Scotty does not know that
"a_atr_test.cfg" is a string unless you (a) load the MIB definition
which tells scotty that this is a string or (b) you put something into
the varbind list which tells scotty that the value should be treated
as a string. In general, loading the right MIBs is the best thing to
do since this ensures that ASCII conversions will be done as specified
in any DISPLAY-HINTs.
