Thank you, Ken. Works like a charm.

Here you go - this is based on a function that Mark Wieder created:
function formatThousands pNum,pSeparator
repeat with x = length(pNum)-3 to 3 step -3
put pSeparator before char x+1 of pNum
end repeat

Nice. Very nice.
Ken-
Is this a candidate for inclusion in the standard library?

Very possibly - the Rev Standard Library is being moved to the
revInterop group so things like this can be put up for comment before

Thanks for the props.
Note: the function also handles the accounting format where the "-" sign is
trailing since the decimal and beyond is held as a suffix.

One thing ver (1) does not handle is the switching separator.
I should have said:
if pSeparator is "," then set the itemDel to "."
--otherwise comma will be used
...then finished with...
get (holdPrefix & pNum)
put holdDec into item 2 of it
return it

I will offer a slight (2)
I will add arbitrary and optional currency (£ $ YEN etc) and alternative
decimal (some countries use "." for the thousands and "," for the decimal) with
0.00 numberFormatting...
on mouseUp
put formatThousands(fld 1,"LAT",". ",",")
end mouseUp

Hello, Hugh,
In my last script, I did accommodate the comma/period alternative by using
"itemDel" to form the result string, therefore the default itemDel for Rev
would be comma thus if pSeparator was "." just use the default of "," for
the decimal separator.
if pSeparator is "," then set the it

You are, of course, quite right. The usability of a function should be
proportionate to the required functionality. A currency formatter is not

If you just need something for whole integers, how about something
simple like:
function thousandsDelimit pNum
repeat with i=-1 down to (0 - length(pNum))
put char i of pNum before temp
if (i mod 3 = 0) then put comma before temp
end repeat
