Digit grouping character

[Peter T. Evensen]

Is there a way to get the system digit grouping character (i.e., the 
thousands separator, which is a comma in the US and a period in Europe, 
etc)?  I can't seem to find anything.

Also, is there an easy way to add this to a number without having to munge 
the digits in a string?  (i.e.,  go from "1000" to "1,000")

Thanks!
