No, you get the textStyle of the selection, and then add another style to
make a combination. For e.g, if the textStyle if "plain", you replace it
with "bold", "italic", etc. If it is something other than "plain", you add
it with a comma between: "bold,italic", "italic,underline",
"bold,italic,underline", etc.

Yep all sorted out, thanx for the input, I used the following code for each style;

    if textStyle of the hilitedText is empty then
    set textStyle of the hilitedText to "bold"
    else
    set textStyle of the hilitedText to \
   (textStyle of the hilitedText) & comma & "bold"
    end if
