Win32: number to text box

Hello,
    Yesterday, I asked how to convert a number from a textbox (SLE) to 
an atom. I followed Dan Moyer's adviced and used value().  (I'm creating 
a calculator using the Win32Lib.ew.) Now that I have computed a 
numerical number, I need to convert the number/atom into a string/text 
and then output that string/text to a textbox (SLE).    I haven't found 
any library functions that can help me with the conversion.
    Anyone have any ideas?

This is part of the error message I got when I tried to multiply 5 with 
6 and then put the answer (30) in a text box (SLE):

D:\EUPHORIA\include\Win32lib.ew:6865 in procedure setText() 
type_check failure, s is 25 
    pID = 7
    s = 25
    ptr = <no value>
    result = <no value>
    id = <no value>
    lPart = <no value>


If s is a sequence/string, then shouldn't "s" be displayed in the 
textbox when I use setText()?



Here is the code:


atom answer1, num1, num2

--... some other code that works

answer1 = num1 * num2 
setText(tboxOut, answer1)


I tried declaring "answer1" as a sequence, but when I clicked the 
button, the textbox was cleared for some odd reason.

    My appologies if you are not used to the naming conventions I've 
used: I'm used to using Visual Basic and Window's naming convention.

Thanks,
    Sim
