I think someone just recently asked that. Here's a wuick overview:
- Go to Polygon selection mode (instead of Point or volume)
- hit "w" (or Display menu, Stats)
- Select the surface you went in the pop-up menu at the bottom of the
requester
- hit the "+" next to the words "With Surface", just above the pop-up menu.
The requester goes away, and all polys in the current layer with that
surface gets selected. Hope this helps...
