LC has a lot of "moving part" going on behind the scenes and much of it is

Arithmetic takes (for each parameter) either a string that is a numeral or it
takes the result of arithmetic (or sometimes binaryDecode).
The result of arithmetic is a "double precision" floating point number, an
internal representation. That essentially means you get about 15 digits of

Not sure it will work as you need it too, but one last test before I crash.
I put a calc into a field and did this:

I need to dig a bit deeper and perhaps make a test app. The issue could be
a bit more complicated in my case as the math is happening behind a "do"
statement.
There is field in which the user enters what they want to calculate. I take
that and add a "put" and an "into" targeting
Hmm. was just messing with it in the message box.. I'm not a math guy, but
seems that when using format you shouldn't need to specify the numberformat.
I did this.. put format("%1.60e",1.23456e-41 * 1e-20) where 60 is the
desired precision. Seems to work, same type of result but you specify the

With an insanely large number of "#" in number format I can get this to
work: 1234567890123e-10 * 1e-170. I get the result: 1.2345678901230e-168.
It appears that there is a bit more going on as they are floating point

Mike,
Thanks for the tip. I am using "format" for display purposes so that I get
correctly formatted numbers but, unless I use "numberFormat" first, there is
not enough precision available from the result of the multiplication and the
result is 0.
It appears that "numberFormat" sets the
I may be old fashioned, in that I always thought that the Apple SANE limits, 19
digits, was still the law of the land. This is OS9 stuff, though and I could
just be doddering. But it would mean that setting the number format to such an
outrageous string would be futile, most of that string ignor

It seems odd that I haven't stumbled into this before and I am sure I am
doing something wrong, I just can't seem to find a better way around the issue
of working with small numbers.
Suppose I want to multiply two small numbers such as: 1.23456e-41 * 1e-20.
Unless I am happy with a resul

Although one *could* look at this scenario as simply trying to set the filename
of the image, but in this case, the filename happens to be empty. If you
couldn't set the filename of any image, what would you suggest? Having 2 types
of images? Or disallow the filename property for imported imag

As long as emptying the filename of a *referenced* image actually clears the
imagedata, I would agree with Mark and Monte. When the filename is already
empty, the image was imported and emptying it should do absolutely nothing.
They are other ways to clear it (set the text of image "X" to "").
Mark,
I use this as an useful feature all the time when i need to load and work on an
image and its magedata in putting it first in (the template of) the pre
definite empty image.

I've identified another couple of quirks while working on the properties array
that might need addressing in various ways.
The first is setting an image's filename to empty when it's not a referenced
image clears the image.. As it would currently return empty for the filename

Well, one of the problems with expanding the audience of the dp
