I'm having trouble understanding your comment, but I do see that, say from 
Applescript's POV, that the "selection" of a note and the "text" of a note are 
two different things.

Hmm.. When I open a PDF highlighted in Preview and invoke the Skim menu 
"Convert Notes...", I get my highlights in the Notes Pane, but they're all 
empty of text. Should this not be happening?

Thanks for the response!
