I found the simplest solution was the best: just use copy and paste!  
There's a few reasons why scripting this might be painful:

- You are almost guaranteed to be using CCK to create additional  
fields for content types. So, you'd have to write a different script  
to POST the proper fields for each individual content type.
- You would need some way to parse some fields, such as taxonomy  
terms, from the HTML, so you could submit the proper ID for your  
selection.

If all you want is an editor for large chunks of HTML, it really is  
quite quick just to copy, paste, and preview in your browser.

If this feature is really important to you, then I would look at  
integrating with an API instead of hacking the forms. Drupal core  
comes with the standard XML-RPC blog editing API, so if your site is  
using the blog module that could work. There are probably other  
modules, but mailhandler might be easiest to work with as you would  
just have to generate and send an email from Quanta:
