Thanks! There is one problem though.  I get an error on this line:
OSTypes.append me.cachedPtr.OSType( pos )

It's in ClipboardEx:BackupData.  The error is "Unknown identifier 'OSType'".
Do I need certain plugins, or a specific version of RB to run this?

Also, about the background stuff.  I've verified that the original example I
found works in OS 9.  Do you mean the saving of the clipboard won't work in
the background or the actual appending won't work?

I think I've found a better solution though.  WASTEField looks very
promising.  I haven't exactly tested it yet, but it looks like you can
append styled text pretty easily with it.
