Exporting coloured text to HTML and RTF from 8.1.4

[Richmond Mathewson]

The problem is quite different: and this only became clear when I tested 
your script inwith my Devawriter Pro
and outwith it in a simpler stack.

The problem is that the text that becomes colourised is then moved intil 
another field, and then is exported from
that field; during the movement from the first field to the second one 
its styling is lost:

setthetextoffld "fRESULT" ofcard "ATTIC" tothetextoffld "fRESULT" ofcard 
"DEVANAGARI"

setthetextSizeoffld "fRESULT" ofcard "ATTIC" tothetextSizeoffld 
"fRESULT" ofcard "DEVANAGARI"

Presumably (?)  I will need a third line something like this:

setthetextColoroffld "fRESULT" ofcard "ATTIC" tothetextColoroffld 
"fRESULT" ofcard "DEVANAGARI"

indeed, that is what I am about to try.
