Scenario: The clipboard contains one line of styled text. The script
is called from Eudora's Scripts menu.

No result here, but no crash either. Mind you I'm using the latest
alpha of Eudora, though I doubt if that makes any difference. Eudora
never crashes for me.
This works from the Eudora Scripts menu however you save the file:
tell AppleScript to set barb to the clipboard
display dialog barb
and so will this:
set barb to (get the clipboard)
display dialog barb
Remember that scripts running from the menu are wrapped in a tell
Eudora block even though you have not written it, so you have to
respect Eudora's way of doing things; besides "the clipboard" has
always been a bit of a pest even when Jon was its sole supplier.

Yes, but it's not some styled text; it's some plain text. Do you
perhaps mean some text containing extended ASCII characters? That's
not styled text.
