Description
Try entering a string like 'foo$bar' in the StringConstant actor. It will give an error trying to evaluate 'bar' as a parameter. It looks like it is evaluating the string using Ptolemy's expression language.
I think this is because Kepler's StringActor is NOT the same as the Ptolemy StringActor. It has been modified to allow the string to be set to a filename and I think this causes an evaluation of the string. This may be useful for setting filenames, but it causes problems with some strings.

Revised to use the standard 'StringConstant' from Ptolemy and documentation updated to note that '$$' can be used to insert a single dollar sign in the text.
