Converting seconds work around?

Thank you Jeanne, 

I could not get this to work with a variable, however. My work around was to 
'get' my variable, and then everything worked:


    put the seconds into mySeconds
    get mySeconds
    convert it to long time


If I tried "convert mySeconds to long time" it would only return the seconds. 
Bug?
