True as verified by Tom Bender. The "select text" statement is the way to

In the sense that making a list that long is going to take a very, very long
time. But not in the sense I had meant - I was thinking of the c. 4000-item
limit for lists made from text items, characters, words or paragraphs of a
string. As Chris Nebel reminded me, that limit is only for AppleScript
strings and objects, not for applications who implement their own
definitions of the objects (like 'character' in TE+). So I wasn't right in
this case, except that 'text a thru b' is still going to be much better.
