   Maybe I'm missing something, but why would you want to put *the htmlText* 
of one field *directly into* another field? This would make sense if you're 
making an app to do HTML editing -- but if that's the case, "¤" is 
exactly what you *should* see in place of the euro symbol, not so?
   Try any of these instead and see how they go:

  set the htmlText of field 2 to the htmlText of field 1
  set the unicodeText of field 2 to the unicodeText of field 1
  set the rtfText of field 2 to the rtfText of field 1
