Brian --

Seems like (and please correct me if I'm off) that I'd need to inject
a JavaScript file into the tab and set some var to getSelection on
every mouseup (assuming that's feasable on view-source) so the
Extension's popup.html could then grab that variable updated value to
pop into my form.

If that's right, okay ... But since the Extension already works on
tabs this seems a little arduous.  I'm hopeful that this can be done
without DOM manipulation.

In case it helps I'm including the contents of files from my
implementation below.

Also, here the URL to the actual extension: 
http://gush.es/extras/gushes_chrome_ext/gushes.crx

Thanks for your help;

Paul
