MASK/{ALL|NONE|[OMIT,],obj type list}
Changes the selectable status associated with a particular object type to valid or invalid.
The MASK statement can be used to make only certain objects selectable by their object type. For example, you may want to delete all objects except lines. No matter what the lines are named (even if they are not named) they can be made non-selectable by their object type.

NOTE: Types 16-20, 22,
43, 65, and 66 are special cases of face (type 71). Cylindrical, conical, etc.,
solid and sheet bodies correspond to type 70. For example, type 16 corresponds
to the cylindrical face of a solid cylinder, or the face of a cylindrical sheet
body, and not to the solid (or sheet body) cylinder itself, which is type
70.
