I don't know exactly what the disaster is, but I have a ZClass, STX_Document,
which derives from CatalogAware (and potentially Renderable, see the README),
and which holds its text data in its own property, body_stx.  Works fine for me!

Maybe you could explain what is wrong with your ZClasses?  If the text is too
long for the browser's textarea widget, you can also use a file-upload to
populate it from your local hard drive (STX_Document illustrates file upload,
too).
