Thanks for the suggestion!

But now I am confused on two counts (at least).

First, the error message says it was looking for "SetInput" not 
"SetInputConnection".

Second, I thought the name of this routine was arbitrary. The new filter's xml 
for the server manager reads (in part):

<ServerManagerConfiguration>
    <ProxyGroup name="filters">
       <SourceProxy name="Cloud" class="vtkCloud">
          <InputProperty name="Input" command="SetInput">
          ... more

Since the command is "SetInput" and the C++ class' method is "SetInput" I would 
have thought that was all there was to it. Is that wrong?

Thanks again!
