Thanks.
What I really want is more than just shift-click, I want it to work like
other applications:
single click selects that entry only (deselect any others)
ctl-click toggles the selection of the item
shift-click selects all items between the previously selected
item and this one
I'm not sure about click-and-drag
The right thing to do is to read the user interface guidelines for
Windows, Linux, and Mac OS, and implement to match.
