Trailing Zero Suppression

[Michael D Mays]

Use the numberFormat property.
 set the numberFormat to ".########"
will show 8 digits to the right of the decimal unless they are a trailing
zero.

Note that you have to perform a mathematical operation on the number before
displaying it.

 set the numberFormat to ".#######"
 put "1.23000000"

would display 1.23000000 in the message box.

 set the numberFormat to ".#######"
 put "1.23000000"+0

would display 1.23
