Default faces highlighting that I don't want?

I'm very new to this and only experimenting, so forgive me if this is a rather dub question!

but I'm puzzled.

I'm using a few Second Life templates as starting models, but what I find is when I highlight some faces on one surface other faces elsewhere also highlight automatically.

Someone kindly posted on these forums a "barstool" demo file, which I uploaded and clicked on a few of the top faces, and some polygons on the bottom them highlighted also (which I did not want)

So I thought I'd highlight some of the bottom faces and see what happened, and some of the polygons on the side (shaft) highlighted also.

Am I doing something basically wrong?

Running Windows 7 64-bit if that makes any difference.

What I "think" is happening is that when in "Surface Selection" mode often when I select a suface that's facing me, it often also selects a surface on the other dise of the model and the same time. I then have to go and un select this other surface.

Perhaps I have a setting wrong?

Do you have select through checked? It is located on the bottom line of the AC3D window.
