maybe you could use HTMLTEXT?
...
set the blablaprop of this stack to the htmltext of fld "yadda"
...

And back:
...
set the htmltext of fld "yadda" to the blablaprop of this stack
...

Works fine and is extremely crossplatform :-)

If you only have some unicode textfiles, a repeat loop with one field
envolved should do the trick.

But i have no idea on how to convert unicode text to "htmltext" without
using a field...
