Unfortunately ssget doesn't support initget, I wish it did. Maybe it does in AutoCAD 2006. When ssget is active, it will accept various letter inputs that define the selection mode. Most of the letter functions I know, but there are two letters that I cannot establish the purpose of: A - ? C - Crossing F - Fence G - Group L - Last M - ? P - Previous R - Remove U - Undo W - Window 'A' doesn't appear to do anything (it doesn't select All, for example). 'M' seems to put ssget into some strange single-pick mode where the selected items are not highlighted until <enter> is pressed. There are also various two letter combinations (e.g. CP, WP, etc.) that are accepted by ssget. All other letters throw up an *Invalid selection* error message. Does anyone know the function of 'A' and 'M' when used with ssget?
