... but the last solution does not work with correct smalltalk
expressions because 'xxx' does not understand messages
#selectionInterval and #text which are sent to it (I don't know why).

Nevertheless, a MyController (StringHolder subclass) which understands
these two messages solve the problem. Other messages cause exceptions
which could be catched.

Ned and Derek, thanks for good advice.
