Robert, 

The rectangular box and the lasso are used to select multiple points.

The rectangle button works by placing the cursor somewhere near where you want to
start the
selection, then press and HOLD the left mouse button whilst you drag the cursor over
the
rectangular area you are interested in. Releasing the mouse button selects all the
points
contained within the rectangle.

The lasso button is used to draw an irregular area around points you wish to select. 
This
works by again pressing and holding the left mouse button whilst dragging the cursor
around
the points you want to select.  This results in a white trace of the cursor.  When you
release
the mouse button all the points enclosed within the area of the white trace will be
selected.

The clue to both is to drag the cursor whilst holding down the left mouse button.

The use of inverse is also very useful here as you can select the points you DON'T
want and
then use inverse to get all those you want.
