2. .SYNOPSIS 
3.     Shows formatting of leading Zeros 
4. .DESCRIPTION 
5.     This script, a re-implementation of an MSDN Sample,  
6.     creates several numbers of varying type, then 
7.     displays them using .NET Formatting. The second set 
8.     of formatting shows the difference between .ToString() 
9.     and composite format strings to format - to approaches 
10.     that accomplish the same goal!
