Sorry - scratch that. The Append Attributes item DOES claim to have the right 
values.  According to the Information tab, there are 2 data arrays: One with 
scalars representing the stat data, and the other called "surface" which ranges 
from 0 to 1 and was created by the calculator step (see my last note).  
However, when I make a Contour out of this item, telling it to use "surface" to 
do this, it does indeed make a surface, but it inexplicably changes the stat 
data scalars to a completely new range of [127.863, 128.063].  Note that the 
Append Attributes item claims to have this same array with [0, 128.619].  

Any ideas? As far as I can tell, Contour inexplicably changes the stat data 
scalar values to a new range.  ???  Is this a bug, or am I doing something 
wrong?
