How can I take the text variable phone, which is comprised of the ten digits of a phone #, and split it up into 3 variables in which I can insert dashes?

ie:  phone_no_with_dashes = var1 + "-" + var2 + "-" + var3


set tel to "0123456789"
((text items 1 thru 3 of tel) & "-" & (text items 4 thru 6 of tel) & "-" & (text items 7 thru 10 of tel)) as text
