Hello Yvan,

A bit late perhaps...
I knew this had already discussed on this list, but when? ;-)
So, for example:

	http://lists.apple.com/archives/applescript-users/2005/Aug/msg00343.html

with Emmanuel's post being a nice one. :-)

As you already stated it, as well as others, this was more an AppleScript Editor's problem with storing/displaying numerical constants than handling numerical values during a script's execution.
As a result, you shouldn't be concerned wrt your 10.4.11 system, there's just a "well known problem" that seems to have been corrected with Snow Leopard.

HTH,
Axel
