Wow!  That's as clear as mud!  For reference, executing:

	select +1
	repeat *

In KEDIT (or XEDIT) will select for editing all of the even lines.  You can then
execute any commands against this subset (including block mark/copy/move/delete
and global search/replace).  To return to viewing and editing the whole file,
enter:

	all

(To get 2 out of every three, do "1 select +1" instead.  To reverse the
selection (to 1 out of 3 or to the odd lines in the previous example) use:

	display 1

Since all that the 'select' command really does is tag each line (default 0)
with a level number, you can switch back and forth between the displayed and
undisplayed lines with a single command.  For humor value, you could bind this
to a key ...)
