Warning

	Warning
This can have an effect on numerical operations, if you're not careful. Sometimes OOF2 fills in a value for you, and then uses that value for input. For example, if a `Property` parametrization dialog box has two parameters, `P0` and `P1` and you set `P0` to `0.33333333333`, then close the dialog and reopen it with `digits` set to 2, `P0` will be displayed as 0.33. If you then click OK, perhaps after changing `P1`, `P0` will be changed from 0.33333333333 to 0.33.
