Please remember to check the manual or online help, before inquiring here.  However, I 
will take pity on you, since the documentation does seem less than ideal in the areas 
of #text and #field members (and what the hell, it's Friday night and I apparently 
have no life).  ;)

Here is a quote from the (Dir8) online help:

>selection (text cast member property)
>-----
>Syntax member(whichTextMember).selection
>  Description
>    Text cast member property;
>    returns a list of the first and last character
>    selected in the text cast member.
>This property can be tested and set.
>  Example
>    The following statement sets the selection
>    displayed by the sprite of text member myAnswer
>    so that characters 6 through 10 are highlighted:
>      member("myAnswer").selection = [6, 10]
