I've implemented Automator actions that (1) get text from the front document in
SEE and (2) set text in the front document in SEE. They can be downloaded at
<http://www.box.net/shared/hcqjjjtll8>. For those who are interested, sources
are available at <http://www.box.net/shared/s032rz538j>.
Also, I've blogged about implementing the actions at
<http://appliedabstraction.blogspot.com/2009/04/experimenting-with-implementing.\
html>. The post is about implementation, so likely is not worth the bother for
those who just want to use the actions.
