To select a single object, use the cursor keys to move the cursor over the
object and press Enter to activate the command.

To choose several objects at once, press the M key. A second Object Move
screen opens offering five choices described below. Activate any of these
choices by typing the first letter of your choice on the keyboard. For
example, if you want to select an object, type the letter S.

Select allows you to select one object at a time from a group of objects.

Use the cursor keys to move the cursor over the object, then press
Enter. The object will start flashing to indicate it is selected. Select
other objects in the group in the same way.

Deselect allows you to remove one object at a time from a group of

selected objects. To deselect, place the cursor on the object and press
Enter. The object will stop flashing to indicate it is no longer selected.

Group allows you to select or deselect a group of objects with a “rubber

band box” that appears on the screen.

To use this option, press G. A third Move Object screen will appear
displaying the rubber band box. Stretch or shrink the box with the cursor
keys to surround the objects of your choice, then press S or Enter to
select the objects, or the letter D to deselect.
