Lining up numbers in columns

Hi Everyone,

I'm having trouble formatting numbers in a field so that the ones, tens, 
one hundreds, etc. are properly right-aligned in a column.  I've 
formatted the field to be right-aligned with a tabstop of 200.  I then 
generated two columns of numbers, x= (90, 91, ..., 110) and y=(50,000, 
51,000, ..., 100,000).  I put x and y into the field using a repeat loop:

repeat with i=1 to 21
put line i of x & tab & line i of y & return after fld "Number Table"
end repeat

The y column (50,000 to 100,000) is correctly aligned but the x column 
isn't.  Any suggestions?

	Regards,

		Greg
