I'm not sure if I'm reading this right, but it seems to me that the 
offending line is in the script of a stack named "Mouse Messages", 
either the main stack or a substack of the the main stack in file 
"RevTour.rev".

I don't think a stack has the property "the selectedText".

Perhaps you mean "the target" instead of "me".

If this script is indeed that of a stack, then there are several ways.  
This can happen if the stack was set up as a front script, back script, 
or library using 'insert' or 'start using'.  This normally happens if 
the card is part of the stack with the script.  The mainstack of the 
stack (if it is a substack) is also in the message path.

I cannot judge.  Perhaps, you have put the script with indicated line 
in stack scripts and in card scripts.
