1. RE: setText and integers
Mark,
First of all, welcome to the community!
What I think you're looking for is sprintf, which formats an integer
into a sequence of characters. The syntax is the same as printf but
does not output to the console. For example:
setText(MyTextEdit, sprintf("%d", some_number))
HTH,

I note the reposnse of others. I can add that win32lib has sprintf
"built-in". For example:
setText(StatBar, {"The value of x =",x})
should work fine.
