Hi Chipp,

My solution is a bit if a kludge as well, but it does
the trick, also after drag&drop :

--
on dragDrop
  send "UnformatMe" to me in 15 milliseconds
  pass dragDrop
end dragDrop

on pasteKey
  send "UnformatMe" to me in 15 milliseconds
  pass pasteKey
end pasteKey

on UnformatMe
  set the text of me to the txt of me
end UnformatMe
--

Of course you can turn this into a fronscript and have
it work everywhere.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
