Principally you did the right thing -- but uuuups

there the docs might irritate at first glance, since in fact selectRegion() is a Screen method (it is mentioned, but ...)

so the usage is generally Screen(x).selectRegion() or just selectRegion() if you want to select on primary screen (SCREEN).

I will revise the docs.

One more thing:
With Sikuli X-1.0rc1, selectRegion() does not work on windows, so you have to use (only for one or two days until RC2 is out ;-) a manually defined Region using Region(x,y,w,h) or derive it from another one you already have, e.g.
m = find(some_image)
newReg = m.left(1).below().right()

this would give you a region below and right of the match's lower left corner extending to the button and right side of the screen.

have a look at the docs for even more options.
