Humm... but you can select edges simply by selecting the vertices that 
create the edge. That's how it works in Blender, and I think this is 
quite a good approach on selecting geometry. This could be enhanced by 
making the selected edges visible (by colouring them), though. But apart 
from it, I didn't miss any selection methods yet. Doing everything by 
selecting appropriate vertices seems to be a lot cleaner and elegant to me.

    <pre wrap="">No, not really. The number refers to how many times
the operation is 
performed. So if you smooth mesh M0, you get a new
mesh, M1:

   M0 --&gt; M1

To get a smoother version of M1, you can perform the
same operation on M1 to 
get M2:

   M1 --&gt; M2

each time you perform the operation, you get a
smoother version of the mesh, 
but you also get a new mesh (the intermediate meshes
are discarded).

Here's a link that should explain it (lots of
pictures, no math):
