some hints to get the local decimal separator

MacOS

     do "get item 2 of (1.1 as string)" as appleScript
     put the result into theDecimalSeparator
     replace quote with empty in theDecimalSeparator

Windows 2000/XP

     put queryRegistry("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control 
Panel\International\sMonDecimalSep") into theDecimalSeparator
