[Proto-Scripty] Text selections

[kstubs]

Can anyone recommend code or library that helps with making text selections? 
 For example, selecting all text in a texarea?  Does Prototype help with 
this at all?

Selecting all text in a textarea is as simple as $ 
('theIdOfTheBox').select();


I have written an example that works with any text on the page,  
inspired by the New York Times' definition widget.

Ok, yep cool, nice demo!  
So the select() is easy enough, but what about:  selecting the word gently 
in a textarea?  So you might have:

row row row your boat gently down the stream
