You will have to be more specific what you want to select. Text in a frame? A particular 1-point black-filled path? Everything? Only select locked stray points? Graphics?

And then what do you want to do with it?

Making most objects selected is simply a matter of setting its .selected property to true:

myObject.selected=true;

Trickier is telling the script which object to select. Open the AI Javascript Reference, do a search for ".selected =", and you will find numerous examples.
