My macro below will works:
! select (arg1=0) or unselect (arg1=1) areas that are meshed...
asel,'all'
*get,ar32,'area',0,'COUNT'
ar31=0
*Do,ar30,1,ar32
ar31=ARNEXT(ar31)
*if,ar31,eq,0,then
*EXIT
*else
*get,ar33,'AREA',ar31,'ATTR','NELM'
*endif
*if,arg1,eq,0,then
*if,ar33,eq,0,then
ASEL,'U','AREA',,ar31
*endif
*else
*if,ar33,gt,0,then
ASEL,'U','AREA',,ar31
*endif
*endif
*enddo
