tell application "BBEdit"
set textLength to length of current clipboard
tell text window 1
set startingPoint to characterOffset of selection
paste current clipboard
select (characters startingPoint thru (startingPoint +
textLength - 1))
end tell
end tell

This works with the current clipboard. Doing the same while cycling throught
the clipboard set is going to be more difficult.
