Could someone please explain to me what is defective in the
following AppleScript and what needs to be changed so that it
functions properly when I select text in TextEdit and execute the
script?
The defect is in TextEdit; there is no selection property. However,
if there were, it would be a property of the text of the window (or
maybe of the window itself), not of the application.
This is endemic in Cocoa applications; you can't get the selected text.

from the common culture. Near as I can tell, this coincides with the
release of MS-DOS.
