Did numberFormat Break?

[Mike Bonner]

If I recall what I read way back,  I think the numberrformat only applies
to containers other than variables.  If you were to put tpoextprice into
field "field" the numberformat should be applied correctly.

I think the reason for this is that numberformat can be used to add
non-number chars ($) but the number in the variable needs to remain a
number. Its only when its dropped somewhere that the changes are applied.
