Take a look at the "numberformat" property. This property sets the 
number of digits both before and after a decimal point. There are lots 
of options, but the most important thing to remember is that it will not 
work unless you perform a mathematical action on the variable. If you 
don't want to change the variable's value, just add zero to it:

   put baseconvert(r,10,16) into r
   set the numberformat to "00"
   add 0 to r

This gives you a two-digit number in all cases.
