If you are using OS X 10.5 that feature no longer works. They changed the way that input mangers work, and in general the implementation of that feature was always a bit hacky... I needed to get my code loaded into the other application. It worked most of the time for many apps, but didn't work all of the time, and was prone to breaking.
Because of this I decided to change my approach and use the public universal access methods to get text into and out of external applications. That's a public api, works in more programs, and in general is a good way to solve the problem I think. The big issue is that I just haven't had time to finish that project (It's called QuickCursor). You can download and try the current version from this page, but it still needs work.

You mean the "edit in WriteRoom" feature? Or just switching from one app to the other?
