I was sure I had tested this with variables. (Strange, but getting htmlText of the field seems to work OK.) Concerning "binary data, not text"... Well, I had assumed that Revolution strings were simply sequences of bytes. Character strings were those with a character interpretation. Binary data were simply strings of which the bytes might be any value from 0 to 255. In addition, I assumed that the value set to a field was a string and the value read from a field was the same string (barring the setting of htmlText, and maybe other things); the display was derived from that (and styles and things).
