To select volumes and areas that are already meshed, as opposed to those
that have not been meshed yet, consider the following set of commands.
They could be used in a macro:

nslk ! select nodes at keypoints
lsln,s,1 ! select lines fully defined by selected nodes
asll,s,1 ! select areas fully defined by selected lines
vsll,s,1 ! select volumes fully defined by selected areas

Will this give you what you want? Inverting the selection will give you
those that have not been meshed yet. It is a useful way to see if a
whole model has been meshed.
