i hate to quell your enthusiasm, but did you know you can
just press command-option-shift down-arrow (which selects
from current insertion point to end of the story) and then
delete? probably faster than invoking a script. you can
"delete to beginning" similarly, and left- and right-arrow
go to beginning/end of line... leave off the shift key and
the insertion point is moved without selecting, which can
be handy to jump the view or position the cursor into
overset text.
