I've been using a bit of code that Arthur Knapp wrote that bends the rules. His handler takes a string of hex characters and puts it between chevrons. It works for strings less than 255 characters. This is the handler:

on HexToStyle (hexString)
set s to run script "<<data styl" & hexstring & ">>"
return s
end HexToStyle

I'd like to hand it longer strings because most things that I want to run through it have about eight style runs (8*40 + 4 = 324). The alternative is to break the styled text into individual style runs and concatenate the styled text.

You could, alternately, write the data to a file and 'run script' the file.
