Is 0.000001 as small a number as can be worked with?

[Jerry Jensen]

In the multi-line message box try:

set the numberformat to "0.##########"
put 0.000001 / 1000

Note that the numberformat needs to be in quotes so the first # isn't interpreted as the start of a comment. Otherwise it seems to use the default which is 0.###### .
