Doug,

Try appending or transforming your HTML before setting the HTMLText.

put "" into field "maintext"
set the HTMLText of field "mainText" to "<p><b>test</b></p>"
put the HTMLText of field "mainText" into zap
put return & "<p>test</p>" after zap
set the HTMLText of field "mainText" to zap

put return & "word" after field "mainText"
put return & return & "test" after field "mainText"

put the HTMLText of field "mainText" into zap
put return & return & "<p><b><u>Test Word</u></b></p>" after zap
set the HTMLText of field "mainText" to zap

put the HTMLText of field "mainText"

<p><b>test</b></p>
<p>test</p>
<p>word</p>
<p></p>
<p>test</p>
<p><u><b>Test Word</b></u></p>
