Hi Peter,
Doing 'put shell("locale -k LC_NUMERIC")' in the message box returns the
same (expected) result for me here, running Linux, as I get in a
terminal. Same for putting the result into a field. I do get the same
unexpected behavior as you under OS X, however. I know this doesn't help
you solve you problem, but at may help isolate whatever bug it is that's
causing it.
Good Luck,
Warren
