Indeed tricky to find out what this means :-;
You can look in the file .../share/EMBOSS/acd/embossdata.acd :
selection: reject [
default: "3, 5, 6"
minimum: "1"
maximum: "6"
values: "None, AAINDEX, CVS, CODONS, PRINTS, PROSITE, REBASE"
delimiter: ","
header: "Directories to ignore"
information: "Select directories"
help: "This specifies the names of the sub-directories of the
EMBOSS data directory that should be ignored when displaying data
directories."
button: "Y"
]
So, by default CVS, PRINTS and PROSITE are rejected.

That is because -reject is an "advanced", not an "optional"/"additinal"
parameter. It is indeed impossible to get a selection list displayed at
the command line, although many GUI's like wEMBOSS will show it.

This does not work, there is no way to reject the files in the base data
directory. The best you can do is to add on the command line
-reject=2,3,5,6,7 or -reject= AAINDEX,CVS,PRINTS,PROSITE,REBASE
What you can do however is :
ls $EMBOSS_DATA/CODONS
Hope this helps,
