You want to float the $ sign and have it preceded by asterisks?
Or, fixed $ sign and asterisk fill - like the example shown here?

If the former, I don't think so, but you could do it with a combo of %editw()and a find/substring operation to create a character field with the result.
Good candidate for a sub-procedure.
Thanks, Roger. Especially for pointing me to an example of
fixed-currency-asterisk-fill. None of the manuals I looked at had even
that case.
And actually, while I was implementing "big number" support in our
QuestView product (the new version will still run under V4, and yet if
you run it under an OS version that *has* big numbers, it will *work*
with them), I found myself digging around in the limited edit word
support I'd added over two decades ago, and correcting a few bugs that
had gone unnoticed.
I was looking for a combination of dollar sign and asterisk fill not for
an actual application, but rather as a test case.
