Current Selection is (null) with append text

[Daniel Schmidt da Silva]

I have found some threads on this subject, but none addressed my problem.

My “current selection” works in these mysterious ways:

I can select finder objects and act upon them.
I can select some text and show a large type.
I can’t to much more with it.

What I wanted to do:

Select some text (as above) and save to a file. (Could’t find a way to do
that)
Select some text (as above) and append/prepend to a file. I’ve done this,
but the string (null) is put in the text file, yet in the above situation
the same text can be shown as a large type.


I have the extra selection option on, have the related plugins and have
internal quicksilver  stuff and services in my catalog.

Is this some kind of bug? I’m running ß63.
