No.  At least, in the original Project Oberon book, it's TextFrames.Mod
which does this work, by maintaining its own selection for each Frame.

The Display module (written in assembler in the original, ie therefore no
Display.Mod existed) is just a device driver for the pixel framebuffer,
and also, as it happens, an abstract root of the display object hierarchy
(Display.Frame).
