How to select two material groups and input them to the Deep Copy sample script

I am trying to work with the material Deep Copy sample here: http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/material/deep_copy/start

I am having trouble figuring out how to select the Source and Target material in a way that the script will recognise. Intuitively it would make sense to do it the same way you'd transfer rigging - hold down CTRL, select the first material group, then select the second material group, then execute the script. But I can't figure out how to do it. Can someone give me a clue on where to start?

Many thanks!

    Do you have the same number of selected materials on each item?

    The only selection that matters to the Deep Copy sample is node selection; the deep copy of materials is performed on each of the selected objects.

    Materials are named in sequential 'pairs' across parallel arrays; see aSrcMaterials and aTgtMaterials. On the first iteration aSrcMaterials[ 0 ] is copied to aTgtMaterials[ 0 ]. On the next iteration aSrcMaterials[ 1 ] is copied to aTgtMaterials[ 1 ]... and so on... until the length of the arrays is reached.
