For stars, there are links below each message, available to the creator of the message. "Mark as solution" and "mark as help". Only one message can be marked as the solution.

Detailed explanation at www.levelextreme.com/point.asp.

About decimals: it seems to me that SET DECIMALS affect mainly the display of data, not the actual calculation. For instance, the following fragment displays very accurate data - much more than if x were stored only with 2 decimals accuracy:
set decimals to 2
x = pi() * 10
? x * 1e6
