 lan_pad_stream::set_channel
        Set the channel for a lan pad stream.

 Usage:
        rc = strref -> set_channel(channel)

 Arguments:
        channel string          The channel to be assigned to the
                                stream

 Keyword:
        null    If set, then clear the channel (returns 0).

 Notes:
        This is NOT an end-user method it should ONLY be called from
        within the constructor method. If I didn't need it to be
        separate for the menu constructor, I'd have coded this stuff
        as part of the constructor method. If IDL had private methods
        I'd have made it private.
