Hullo David,
I see what you mean, but you do this editing the .geo file, and not
interactively through the GUI... the latter possibility would be a great
advantage...

Alessandro

No. See t1.geo. If you write
Physical Surface (5555) = {6} ;
in t1.geo file, mesh it and save the mesh, the elements belonging to surface
6 will be tagged with the 5555 integer.
