set x to "0.25" -- string --set x to x as number -- z still outputs 100 --set x to x as real -- z still outputs 100 set y to "4" -- string set z to x * y -- how can I output z = 1 here, instead of z = 100?

I would hazard a guess that this has to do with how the string is interpreted because the original poster is from the Netherlands (at least his TLD indicates so) and so probably has the locale set for there. He could try using "0,25"
It's curious.
On my French system
set x to "0.25" x as number
returns the logical error message :
"Il est impossible de rendre \".25\" en type number." number -1700 from ".25" to number
Seems that the bug strikes on systems using the decimal period, not on systems using the decimal comma.
