John, many thanks. My numbers can be both decimal and integer so I
use a format string "########.##" but integer numbers are displayed
with a decimal point at the end. Do I have to manually remove the
point? That seems a bit crude.

use "format" instead of "str" to convert numbers to strings.
For example
str(25^56)="2.441406e+8"
while
format (25^6,"#")="244140625"
"#" is the format specifier. You'll have to learn how these work.
Other than the format specifier, str and format are equivalent.
Format is always better.

How do I prevent large numbers in an editfield defaulting to
