how to prevent scientific notation for decimal numbers?

Hi, how do I prevent Rebol Console to use scientific notation for decimal numbers?
>> 0.005
== 5E-3
>> 0.002 * 2
== 4E-3
Is there a system/option?

There isn't a system option, unfortunately. It's come up a number of
times, and the best you can do is to have a function you use to format
the numbers yourself.

It varies across, and is consistent within operating systems.
on Solaris with rebol I get:
>> .005
== 0.005

On Windows with I will see scientific notation for rebol, perl, python ...
