One thing I like about the AutoCAD selection tool is that selections
stay selected until an action occurs or the selections are cleared
(escape key).  This is handy compared to our selection tool that cancels
all selections when you accidentally select nothing and all of your
previous selections are cleared.  I realize this is user error but the
AutoCAD selection paradigm has a bit of built in fool proofing.
