Now the problem is, what is really styled text? I copy a piece of text

Yes, this is very strange. When I copied a piece of text out of Note Pad,
(after running around the office to see if anyone HAD a copy of Note Pad),
the Finder reported it as "text", (the Finder's Show Clipboard command).
I then did the same with a piece of styled text from Script Debugger and
the Finder reported it as "styled text". Any call to "the clipboard" seems
to return text in a styled text "wrapper" by default. Perhaps Jon Pugh could
shed some light on this?
