I have a selection of edges. I would like to convert my selection to the outer edges only. How do I do this automatically.

  1. Ensure you are in edge selection mode CtrlTab > Edges.
  2. Then in the 3D view header Select > Select Boundary Loop

Alternatively you could (for such a simple selection) just hold Alt and RMB RMB on the first edge, then ShiftAltRMB RMB on the second edge.
