Thanks



>>I have noticed that the old @say pict "999" formats numerical data in a way hard to achieve any other way.

>>For those who may wonder why this would be necessary if you wanted to format an amount of money in most European countries where they use a a comma (,) as a decimal separater and a period as a thousand separator. So $100,000.00 might be something like 200.000,00DM.
