However, it appears that those values don't exist in the system prefs until they are changed to something non-standard. After changing the system preferences for numeric separators, then changing them back, they now appear in the file:

  ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences

#$%&! I forgot all about that rather common behavior. Thanks for finding .GlobalPreferences.

I did some experimenting with decimal separators earlier today. I found that using variations on a theme of

set decSep to (character 2 of (3/2 as text))

works very well and avoids wasting time & code digging into a file.

(Then I noticed that there is also a decimal separator for currency. How does my Mac know the difference?)
