This raises a point:  when styles for a specified chunk are mixed, getting
the textstyle returns "mixed".  That's not so bad and I understand why it
does that, but in such cases you cannot set the textstyle to the same value
you get from querrying it.

Any suggestions for a more self-constent form that would allow simple syntax
like this to work?:

 set the textstyle of btn 1 to the textstyle of char 20 to 30 of fld 1
