I'm an AppleScripter, so I don't know your syntax, but if you want to set the contents of a frame, you don't need to select it, just grab the user's input and then set the contents.

From the way you described the problem, I was assuming that your script would be terminating with a selection so the user would be just typing straight into the document.

Again, I doubt that AppleScript will help you, but to select the complete text of MyFrame, I'd say:

select character 1 through -1 of myFrame

where myFrame is a reference to the text frame in question.
