aloha

speaking only as a novice user and not even a 'designer' i've found that these
methods helpful.

first if the unwanted lines (objects) are on another layer -- shut that layer off.
if that isn't the case, you have to select all, or until you get the one(s) you want
and then start deselecting the ones not wanted. button-down and drag can be
helpful in selecting only a wanted short line overlapped by a longer line. selecting
at a lines end points can also be helpful.

also note that i've found it very hard to select and then deselect 'points' especially
if they overlap. identical overlapped lines (objects) on same layer can be removed
one at a time -- if the last remaining one is 'wrong' just alter it's parameters to
the correct ones.

best of luck
