Objects and Selections
Selections are enclosed in parentheses and contain predicates, logical operations, object names, selection names and nested parenthesis: ( [... [(...) ... ]] )

USER COMMENTS
Working efficiently in PyMOL --- or any molecular visualization program --- requires in-depth knowledge of selections & representations. You can select objects by more than just their residue name, number, etc; for example
# color blue, whatever is visible
color blue, visible
# show sticks, for all residues that have a b-factor of 2.0
show sticks, all and b=2.0
# show the surface representation for all residues within
# 5 angstroms of any hetero atoms in all molecules
show surface, byres all within 5 of het
Advanced selections is really where it's at, in my opinion.
