(ssdel entity-name selection-set)


Erase it from the selection set.


This function deletes the entity, entity-name, from the selection set, selection-set. Unlike the ssadd function, entity-name and selection-set are not optional.

If entity-name is part of the selection set, ssdel deletes it and returns the selection set. If it is not part of the selection set, a nil is returned.

Examples
