how do I then fx round to x decimals ?

AppleMods' Number library <http://applemods.sourceforge.net/mods/Data/Number.php > provides a collection of rounding and trimming commands, e.g.:

-- (library loading code omitted for clarity)

_Number's trimTowardZero(1000.1234, 2)
--> 1000.12

BTW, this library incorporates a fix for rounding errors in AppleScript discovered by Emmanuel Levy, so should give more reliable results than a naive solution.

If you've not used AppleMods' libraries before, you'll need to download and install AppleMods' Loader system first <http://applemods.sourceforge.net/getstarted.html>. Run the Loader installer, then download and add the Number library to the ASLibraries folder. You can use the LoaderWizard applet to generate the library loading code to paste at the top of your script.
