How do you pad out a series of numbers with leading zeros? Like for instance the series is

.1.
.2.
.3.
.11.
.42.
.98.

and you want them to be

.001.
.002.
.003.
.011.
.042.
.098.

My solution, among the many:

function paddedList pList
   put "0000" into tPadding
   repeat for each line l in pList
      put char 2 to -2 of l into tNum
      put "." & char 1 to (3 - len(tNum)) of tPadding & \
        tNum & "." & cr after tList
   end repeat
   return tList
end paddedList
