In Cuis, the Transcript is not an editor and it doesn't allow the usual 
operations of a text editor. This was necessary to implement these 
properties (Cuis 3.1 release notes):

            Fast (Calls return quickly)
            Fast (Updates are immediate)
            Thread safe
            Can log to file in addition to Display
            Display output is optional (for headless images)
            Can work on a bare bones image (Doesn't need UI, dependency, 
events, processes)
            Optional morphic window for seamless integration in Morphic
            UI framework agnostic. Can be used to debug Morphic, even 
with the morphic window open, without crashing the image!
            No longer a text editor. Display is read only.

So, Transcript is not a part of Morphic anymore, and just blits contents 
to the Display. You need to do right click / workspace with contents. 
This opens a workspace, where you can select and copy portions.

Cheers,
