You can select the whole document by moving your mouse to the left side
of the document window to the point where the pointer shifts from pointing
to the northwest to the northeast (north is the top of the screen). Then
hold down the apple/pretzel/command key and click the mouse once. The
entire document is now highlighted.

If you have an extended keyboard you can select the whole document by 
pressing the home key (to make sure that the insertion point is at the 
extreme top of the document), holding the apple/pretzel/command key and
pressing the end key (if you have redefined end to be the end of the
document in the command memu, and home is the top of the document).

Then there's the option-command-m  route.
