I have a Textbox with the "Inputmask" defined as: $ 999,999.99

The Help for InputMask Property states: "The current currency symbol (specified with SET CURRENCY) in a fixed position." but that doesn't seem to be the case.

If I do the following in the Command Window:
SET CURRENCY TO "£"
?TRANSFORM(123.45, "$ 9999.99")
I get a dollar-sign, not a pound-sign. I figure this is the equivalent.

So how does one get the proper currency symbol into a Textbox display?

cheers
