hmmm, my first (and only) thought is the htmltext-property ;-)

Like:

on mouseup
   put the htmltext of fld "fld with textstyle to be saved" into 
url"file:savedstyle.htm"
end mouseup

and back again with:

on mouseup
   set the htmltext of fld "fld with textstyle to be saved" to 
url"file:savedstyle.htm"
end mouseup


Hope this helps...
