Hi Victor,
	There isn't a way to do that, but it typically isn't necessary.  The  
"|" and "&" characters perform union and intersection operations  
respectively.  So for example you can add all LYS residues to the  
current selection with:

	sel sel | : LYS

or you could intersect the current selection with LYS residues with:

	sel sel & :LYS

If you really need to change the mode for some reason, let me know  
what that reason is and maybe we can add something.

P.S. The "|" character is a vertical bar, not a capital i, in case  
that's not clear in the font you're using.
