Q: No WOW output from PL/SQL loop on cursor select. Help, please?

Help, please! I've got WOW up and running, but for some strange reason my test package
doesn't display the records that should be retrieved in a for loop with
a cursor; I can print literals and other variables OK in the same package.

This seems to be the last roadblock before I can usefully apply WOW. My test package looks like this:

create or replace package test is

        procedure t(pname in varchar2);
        procedure ttirks;

end;
/

create or replace package body test is

        procedure t(pname in varchar2) is
                cursor cprod( pname  varchar2) is
                        select product,bun,release,tc_auto from qam
                        where product =  pname;
        begin
                htp.dbg := true;
                htp.htitle('Automation Report');
                htp.preOpen;
                dbms_output.put_line('This is a test of dbms_output');
                htp.p('Looking for product ' || pname);
                for prod in cprod('TIRKS')  loop
                        htp.p(prod.product || prod.bun || prod.release
|| prod.t
c_auto);
                end loop;
                htp.preClose;
                wow.sig('test');
        end;

        procedure ttirks is
                cursor cprod is
                        select product,bun,release,tc_auto from qam
                        where product =  'TIRKS';
        begin
                htp.dbg := true;
                htp.htitle('Automation Report');
                htp.preOpen;
                htp.p('Looking for product ' || 'TIRKS');
                for prod in cprod  loop
                        htp.p(prod.product || prod.bun || prod.release
|| prod.t
c_auto);
                end loop;
                htp.preClose;
                wow.sig('test');
        end;

end;

show errors;

If I execute the same select statement directly in sqlplus, as [www_at_carib:/users/www/dba] sqlplus /
