Whoops, sorry everyone. In trying to perform some fancy list processing,
I made a huge mistake in my last posting. Try this script instead:


set x to 11050
set a to ("" & x)'s items --> {"1", "1", "0", "5", "0"}

repeat until a's length = 2
set b to {}
repeat with i from 2 to a's length by 2
set b's end to (a's item (i - 1)) + (a's item i)
end repeat
if (i < a's length) then set b's end to a's item -1
set a to ("" & b)'s items
end repeat

set x to 0 + ("" & a)


I'm not sure if this is exactly what the poster wanted, but it does
take any number whose count of digits is 2 or greater and gradually
reduces them to a 2 digit number.
