Thanks for the reply Ronnie, I had found that macosxhints article
after my WAMUG post, but seemed more appropriate for 10.4, then found
a small App. for 10.5 which removes the comma but retains the spacing,
currently the standard for OSX at the moment. Cheers Steve

Hi Steve,
I don't know if this will help you. <http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080403055310704&query=mar

"You can set custom number and currency formats using the defaults
system. For example, entering the following code in Terminal sets
the thousands separator to a space, and the decimal separator to a
comma, leaving the currency symbol as set in International
preference pane:"
defaults write -g AppleICUNumberSymbols -dict 0 ',' 1 ' ' 10 ',' 17
' '
Cheers,
Ronni
