You might want to read up on the selection algebra of PyMOL (
http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Selection_Algebra) which is quite
powerfull.
You can use the "by residue" selection to select the entire residue that
fits you description, so in your case
remove byres waters and b>20
Will remove every residues within your selection waters, where at least one
atom has a b factor of more than 20. (and of course now you have altered
the b factor according to the calculated surface area)
Also, what does "load_b=1" mean?

It is explained in the last example (3)
"load_b=1" will put the value of the surface area into the b factor column.
Hope that helps!
