Thanks but I believed the LED is correctly oriented as it is. Anyway I change its orientation an it remain on all the time (even without any reference voltage).??? Any ideas??

ericgibbs -> thanks eric . Pin 5 is the reference voltage (2.5 V) . Pin 4 is the input voltage, 5 volts in this case. Pin 2 is the output. So in this scenario the led must turn on when Pin 4 received the 5 volts.
Thanks
hi,Mikebits - thanks.
I will try that when I get home. The pull up will be from pin 2 to 5v and the LED will be tied to pin 2 and ground. Correct ? (This is very different to the circuits I have seem on the web and also on a very old radio shack F.Mims book I have.)
Thanks again.
I think it is safe to say then that a floating input is not a good idea; ergo, some impedance needs to be on the input with or without the jumper. I would say small series R with a 5k or so shunt (to ground after series R) on the input. Here is a pic of what I am thinking.
Data sheet recommends less than 10K impedance on inputs for stability. This should give a good solid 0v while wire is float. Comments?
