> DESCRIPTION: This method selects the text located between the positions
> selStart and selEnd, inclusive.

Actually, the selection is not inclusive. For example, select(0, 1) would
select only one character, not two. If the selected string was "smiles",
select(0, 1) would select "s". Similarly, select(1, 5) would select "mile",
not "smile" or "miles".

See the description of substring in "The Java Language Specification",
section 20.12.32, page 543.
