changing font attributes (style, etc) using script

[m4trix]

I have a field where the user types some information, then I want some other text appended to the begining and end of what they type, but it must be bold. The only way I know how to edit text is to use a button, where the user types their info, then clicks the button to append the other text to what they typed. But how do I get the script to append bold text? Unless it's appending text from a field that is already bolded (which isn't an option)

hmm... well can someone give me the gist of it? unfortnatly I can't open those files because my version of filemaker is too old
