The format of TM_SELECTION is:
selection = <range> ('&' <range>)* range = <pos> | <normal_range> | <column_range> pos = <line> (':' <column>)? ('+' <offset>)? normal_range = <pos> '-' <pos> column_range = <pos> 'x' <pos> line = [1-9][0-9]* column = [1-9][0-9]* offset = [1-9][0-9]*
Sorry, I was actually thinking of the TM_LINE_INDEX environment variable. But perhaps the answer is the same anyway.
