but how do I assign the proper selection states in a python script?

You use "manage_changeProperties" (see the "PropertyManager" API (e.g. in the embedded Online help)).

How do I set or test what the current selection is in the selection?

You can use "getProperty" (from the "PropertyManager" API) or simple "doc.yourProperty". Dieter
