Well second coolest "when it works" :)
So I was able to change 1000 to '1,000' but when I used the numeric value of '1,000' I get 1 instead of 1000 (note already put an enhancement request in tracker).
So how can I remove translate '1,000' to 1000? Tried method finder, but no luck using "'1,000'. 1000".
I can think of a couple ways of doing this (ex: iterate through the characters and remove commas) But there really should be an easier more Etoys friendly way.
Also for internationalization I noticed that the decimal mark is always a period (even when using German, perhaps they have finally realized we have a better system, dividing by 10 is too easy and requires no hard fun ;)
Thanks,
Stephen

Okay, Method Finder has to be the second coolest code tool ever. I simply give an example of what I want to do and it finds it.
FYI to get to Method Finder: CMD-<comma> (CTRL-<comma> on PC, I think) -> open... -> method finder
Thanks Bert.

It's not built into Etoys.
To find the right Squeak method, open a method finder. Give it an example, e.g. "12345. '12,345'". It will look for a method with that receiver giving that result.
(this works for methods with arguments, too. E.g. try "2. 3. 8")
