...but then you have toasted the user's clipboard data, which is less 
good ;-). So it might be a good idea to save the clipboard in a 
variable first:

  put the clipboardData into myVar
   put URL ("file:" & pathtoRtfText) into txvariable
   set the clipboardData["rtf"] to txvariable
   put the clipboardData["text"] into txvariable
   set the clipboardData to myVar
