Sorry to interrupt the good work thats going on with a user question,
but I can't seem to figure this one out.  How do I use pick to get
messages that are in one sequence but not another, ie:

sequence a is a subset of sequence b.

I want to get the messages that are not in sequence a, something like:

pick b -and -not a

but that doens't work.

I'm not on a system with MH right now, so I can't play around to check it... but I think you want to use sequence-negation. See the online MH book at http://www.ics.uci.edu/~mh/book/mh/morseq.htm#PreSeq .
