Thanks for the assistance. It appears I am getting confused between
differences in different languages...

Going back to me to_string function, are there any packages (GPL
compatible licence preferred) for displaying formatted output?  For
instance, my function would display "12:0:0", it would be preferred if
I could display it as "12:00:00". I have a package called
"Formatted_Output" by "Eugene Nonko, cm@liceum.secna.ru", but the
license is unclear. I am not convinced the approach taken is ideal
either. Ideally, I would prefer not to have to reinvent the wheel.
