How to get PHP to pass colored text to RTF text in Revolution?

[Jim Ault]

you want the 

HTMLText property,  in the dictionary.

 Important!  The HTMLText property uses a tag structure that is HTML-like,
but is not completely standard HTML, in order to accommodate the full range
of text styling available in Revolution.

thus
set the htmltext of fld "dataTbl" to theStringSentFromPhp
