Sorry--on re-reading your question, I see that you are talking about the
"marquee-lasso" feature invoked by holding the Command key down while using
the rectangular selection tool.  I thought you were referring to the ability
to squish an existing marquee selection by clicking in a corner with the
command key down and dragging.

What you want is a combination of SeedFill and CopyMask, both documented
in Inside Macintosh volume IV.  Unless I actually read your question right
in the first place.
