Well, dselect itself is cryptic and difficult to understand :-) I think the main thing that bites users is this: in most situations, you want to press + instead of enter. The enter key confirms the whole screen and exits. If you press + on something and it pops up a shorter list of selections, then you can either accept them (with enter), modify them with + and -, or undo them with an upper-case R and make different ones.
