curious behaviour...

One test further
Try this:

on mouseUp
/*
   repeat 4 times
     put "#" after t
   end repeat
*/
   set the numberFormat to quote &quote&quote &quote
   put 5+1
end mouseUp

puts "0006"

which explains why

on mouseUp
   repeat 4 times
     put "#" after t
   end repeat
   set the numberFormat to quote & t &quote
   put 5+1
end mouseUp

puts "000006"
