Forcing 'paste' to paste plain text

[Roger Eller]

This works. Put it in a button. Copy some styled text.  Click the button.
Go anywhere and paste.

*on* mouseUp

   *get* the clipboardData["text"]

   *set* the clipboardData["text"] to it

*end* mouseUp


See, it even worked on my script (*StyledText above, *PlainText below)


on mouseUp

   get the clipboardData["text"]

   set the clipboardData["text"] to it

end mouseUp
