Probably HyperCard provides an easy way to get a two decimals value
from any number, but I haven't run across it.  I want to get numbers
to fit neatly in a narrow field, and I need only a couple of decimal
places.  I imagine quite a few people will want to use this feature
when dealing with money, but how do I do it?  I want to go from
numbers like 1.9874578, 3.981635, and 2.762349 to 1.99, 3.92, and
2.76.  Any ideas?
