Aha.  I wondered if I was missing something.

Last night, I had coded this.  Then I decided I really ought to use the=20
plugin-form api since it was there.  Good job I only commented out my ear=
lier=20
code, rather than deleting it then!

What I had in mind was:

data posted to plugin : plugin uploads file
plugin called as form (eg with ?show=3Dform or something like that):  plu=
gin=20
shows form, allowing file to be chosen for upload
plugin called in any other way:  plugin displays list of attachments on t=
his=20
(or another specified) page.
