See Selecting Elements on page 339.
selection box A user interface mechanism that you use to select elements within a defined area by dragging
the cursor around them.
To create a selection box, place the cursor near the elements to select, click and hold the left mouse button,
and drag the cursor diagonally across the screen to draw a rectangle around the desired elements. Dragging
from right to left includes elements completely enclosed by the selection box. Dragging from left to right
includes any element that the selection box encloses or touches.
