The last statement prompts me to ask a question about
the position of the thousands separator. When I was studying
Japanese, my instructors said that the thousands separator
was between the thousands and ten-thousands digit not
between the hundreds and thousands separator. Am I correct
that if I wanted to vary from the RB-supplied Format function
in that, I'd have to write one of my own?
Thanks for the reply.
