According to "Show Variables" in the "Data" Pull-down menu, it SEEMS that
I just CAN'T put into a user numerical variable anything   1000 or < 0.01!!
in APM version 2.01 Intl (Macintosh II vx system 7-Z1)

E.g with "Number" being the name of the numerical user variable you see:
Number := 1000  --makes Number = 1
Number := 34567 --makes Number = 345
Number := 0.006 --makes Number = 0.01 as Current Value in Show Variables

Also when you display the variable on screen
(like {Number} in a display-icon) it shows the same, UNLESS

******************* !!!!!!!!! ******************
you set "Show Thousands/Millions Separator" = OFF
and "Include <enough> Digits to Right of Decimal"
in "Number Format" in the pull-down "Data"-menu
to display the user numerical variable on screen
******************* !!!!!!!!! ******************

in that case, it appears that the numerical user variable DOES contain
the proper number (see top of page 19 of manual "Variables and Functions":
range from -1.7*10^308 to +1.7*10^308) , but it's ONLY visible on screen!

So: "Show Variables" in the "Data" Pull-down menu DOES NOT SHOW the Current
Value of a numerical variable   1000 or < 0.01!

-> Is this also true for APW?? Does it depend on any settings??
