Right.

Yes.  As I suggested earlier:


C-x h	; mark-whole-buffer
M-x dired-mark-files-in-region RET

Oops, here's a customization that requires:

(defadvice dired-mark-files-in-region (before interactive activate)
   (interactive "r"))

You could even bind dired-mark-files-in-region to a key in dired-mode-map,
perhaps ". h".
