How about (set-text-properties 0 (length string) nil string) ?

Thanks.  Now I just have to figure out how to get into Exceed's
configuration panels. . . (in the lab I use, the password for Exceed's
settings area doesn't seem to be the same as my login password, and i've no
idea where to find what it is. . .  I'll have to find my friendly local
helpdesk next time i'm in there;  I have a feeling this will actually turn
out to be impossible.)
