Once I have the source html, I let the engine extract the plain text for me:
set the htmltext of the templateField to tSource
put the text of the templateField into tText
Frequently that's all I need.

Hi Klaus,
Yes, that works well. Thank you.
But it gives me the html source code.
I can live with that, but lots of parsing to get the text
You seem to suggest I can get the "text" or (?) or html "source"
hh's script (below) does that but it is very unstable, crashing frequently

Hi Jim,
not sure I understand the problem, but this should give you the TEXT/source
of that file:
...
put url "file:/Users/jimhurley/Library/Mail
Downloads/elec_web/precincts/241.htm" into tSource
...
put url "file:/Users/jimhurley/Library/Mail
Downloads/elec_web/precincts/241.htm" into msg box

Assuming you are on a Mac:
The following should work from 10.4 to 10.12 with LC 5/6/7/8.
on mouseUp
put "/Users/jimhurley/Library/Mail%20Downloads/elec_web/precincts/241.htm"
into f
put "source" into sOrT --> one of "source", "text", "URL"
do iScript(f, sOrT) as applescript
put the result into fld 1
end mouseUp
Using above "text" instead of "source" may save you some work.
(The LC interpretation as htmltext does the same but somehow 'uncomplete').
function iScript f,x
put numToChar(34) into q
return "tell application " & q&"Safari"&q &cr& \
" open POSIX file " & q&URLdecode(f)&q &cr& \
" set rslt to " & x & " of document 1" &cr& \
"end tell"
end iScript
