How do I go about formatting or defining a field so that a default value will automatically appear in the field when the layout comes up on screen?

The user would then have the option to enter another value in the field.

Keysol,
You can accomplish this by doing the following:
1. Define the fields as Text or Numeric.
2. Create a script that will set default values in the
fields
3. Place the new fields on your layout.
4. Add a step to the script that launch the layout which
will execute the script created in step 2.

I hope this will help. If not, let me know and I will take
another look.
