Left Justify number in the default value of a input popup

[Bruce Easton]

James, it sounds like either your edit "LJ" is defined as something 
other than expected, or that one or both of the dummy fields nq and qt 
are being overridden (for their type), perhaps in automatic processing.

Try with this change on the fifth line you show here to see if there is 
any difference:

::qt=""{qy
