Blank integer and decimal fields on zero value

Could it be possible to restore integer and decimal variables 'user prompt' behaviour with a blank field when the initial value is 0, like it was in early MD versions?

The problem is (mainly for decimal variables showing 0.0) that to input a number, you have to delete the zero(es) first, and then type the value. Maybe, if not too complicated, you could add a check box in the 'user prompt' screen to determine the behaviour (blank for 0 or not).

If it is too time consuming, it's not a big deal: MD will still be great!

I can't test this now, but could you add an IF-clause to set the variable to blank before user prompt if the value is 0 or 0.0? Yeah, I know, quite a complicated workaround but doable if it works.

Edit: I tested it and noticed that an integer variable can't be set to blank, so this isn't an option.

Anybody interested?
