That's because your model hasn't set a selection. That is, if the 
model says:

	self changed: #getSelection.

(or whatever the getSelectionSelector is set to), the PTM will go back 
to the model and ask it for its selection.

If you want to get to the selection set by the user (as opposed to a 
selection set by the model, as above), you have to talk to the PTM's 
editor, if any.

That is, you can do something like this:

myPTM text copyFrom:
myPTM selectionInterval first to: myPTM selectionInterval last

In Connectors, I defined a #selection method on TextMorph that did 
this.
