Thanks
I checked the same with other GUI applications like the textareas in Outlook ,
Word etc.
They behave in the same manner.So this must be a standard GUI feature.Sorry for
bothering you all.

Using the select() method is just the same as if the user selected
text with the mouse. In that case hitting Enter should replace the
selected text with a carriage return. If you are using select() to
highlight an area of text and don't want the text affected by editing
commands, consider using a highlighter. It has been a while since I
used Highlighter, but it worked very well for just this purpose.
