Object-oriented in those days referred also to other things than programmming. How do you cut-and-paste? You select, then cut. You work with the selection as an object, that you can cut, delete, make bold, move. This is "obvious" today, but actually not. Some programs then worked such as you execute the command ("cut"), then enter select mode, and confirm to cut. Kind of like vi.
