dialog selectby: opens the main SelectBy dialog
selectby clear: clears the current selection
selectby execute: runs the Selectby tool with the current selection criteria.

The selection can be toggled by selectby element all/none.
To set for levels only key-in: selectby element none; selectby element level
Thank you to Tom Danner for the following key-in sequences that work with selectby element:
First select a single element in file
Then run one of following keyins. (Note if an element is not selected before running keyin it will select all elements)
This key-in string will select all elements that match selected element completely
mdl load selectby; selectby element all; selectby execute; selectby type none; mdl unload selectby
This key-in string will select all elements that match element's level only
mdl load selectby; selectby element none; selectby element level; selectby execute; selectby type none; mdl unload selectby
