How to select faces in a polySurface with MEL?

[elmlish]

[newbie question...]

I'm trying to set something up that requires the selection of any number of faces within a particular polySurface. How do I get to the faces from within a MEL Script.

In MEL you can simply select faces (and verts, cv's etc) by using the object name plus .f[1] for face 1 or .vtx[2] for vertex 2 etc.

e.g.
select pCube1.f[0];
will select face 0 on pCube1.

You can also select more than one at a time by typing:

select pCube1.f[0:10];

which selects faces 0 to 10 of pCube1.
