Example nselect md = "m]"

which is the same as:

select md # "m]"

The following example finds the FlashBASIC programs which did not compile in the "bp" file:

select bp
[404] 78 items selected out of 78 items.
nselect dict bp
[404] 3 items selected out of 78 items.

Assume that there are two files with different number of items in each. Some item-ids exist in both files, but not all of them.

First, we select the first file, then we select the items not in the second file:

select file1
[404] 767 items selected out of 767 items.
nselect file2
[404] 323 items selected.

The list contains the items in "file1" that are NOT in "file2".
