If you use Safari, select the text that you want and then go to Safari menu, click it, look for Services>Make New Stickies Note.
That's all.

OSXPM - A Cocoa OS X Package Manager. GPL software, downloadable from Apple or the usual Mac software repository sites - Versiontracker and MacUpdate.

I didn't realise how many versions of Bluetooth Software (and other packages) I had lurking in my system.
