Different styles in TextEditor

Hello,

I need some help with TextEditor widget.
I load some bolded or coloured text to the it at the window initialization.
I would like to write something in that widget using plain text. All the new
characters would be plain with the old ones still formated as in the
beggining and I have absolutely no idea how do it.

Thanks
Piotr Goik

In VisualWorks senders of ParagraphEditor>>#changeEmphasisKey: define
escape sequences to change some aspects of the text formatting while
typing. You can change or extend this behaviour by defining your own
keyboard dispatch table.
