I can Text().get(0.0, END), get all of the text, then insert that in another Text() to make a copy, but how do I get/transfer the other "formatting" info? The binds aren't real important, but the different colored text would be nice.

Not fully fleshed out, just an idea, I Text().dump() the selection and 
change the list so it can be reinserted easily. Currently not dealing 
with marks images etc.
