At first sight Smile's "set clipboard to" would do that, but I don't
know if that solution applies in your context.

Hey Folks,
About a month ago I was struggling with the problem of getting
entirely styleless text onto the clipboard. I had tried using the
little applet 'Plain Text' which was simply too slow, and I finally
settled on using a QuicKeys function to do this.
Further research has unearthed a couple of shell commands: pbcopy &
pbpaste
set salutationText to "Hey Guys," & return & return
do shell script "echo " & salutationText & "| pbcopy"
pbcopy does the job quite neatly with no necessary 3rd party
interaction.

Well. I've tried this every-which-way and can't get it to behave
properly with Applescript, so what I've done is to use QuicKeys'
'Remove Styles' function on the clipboard. This works, and it's
acceptably fast even on my old G4 PowerBook. It is not the
solution I wanted.
If I remember correctly all text on the Mac is now Unicode, and I
wonder if that's not part of the problem. It used to be possible
to force plain text using a raw class. Similar to this:
set s to the clipboard
set s to «class ktxt» of (s as record)
set the clipboard to s
Is there any way to do something similar on Leopard?
