thanks for the quick reply!
i think we're on the right track { as it were ; ) }, but what i need to do is select all the events on all the tracks to the right of cursor placement to the end of the timeline. i am coming from using premiere pro and selecting events on all tracks to the end of the timeline is a simple 'shift' modifier of the 'track select' tool. i really like vegas and want to know if a script can replicate this simple premiere tool.
do you think the script you mentioned be modified to include any all tracks audio and video?
thanks again!

Out of curiosity, what's wrong with Tsunami? As you said, it performs this task very well and is VERY flexible in how it selects.

perhaps i'm not using tsunami properly, but when i assign it to, say, 'ctrl+1', it brings up the tsunami gui pop-up, which means i have to click ok before it executes the chosen script actions. if there is a way to configure tsunami so it just immediately executes the saved 'default' script action (in my case select all events to right of cursor including events under cursor) without bringing up the pop-up, it would be much more useful to me. that is why i was searching for a single script. please excuse my ignorance. i am new to the vegas scripting world! for me, every extra click counts!!

You can also press ENTER instead of clicking. So, you could CTRL-1, ENTER. But, no, there is no way to bypass the GUI.

This script will what you want:

Thanks Johnny!
Tell me if I'm doing something wrong though, when I run the script, it kicks back 'error on line 2: expecing more source characters'.
this could be due to my boneheadedness, please excuse!

What's on line 2? You want everything BETWEEN the ==========cut here========== lines.

just figured it out...sorry, i love vegas, i just don;t know jack about scripting...guess i'll learn, eh?

i didn't think line formatting was important, but i guess it is

thanks johnnyroy...you rock...good work!!!
