That is not what the user is asking about. In the Address book list, hold down the Control key and arrow up or down through the list. Do not release the Control key. Each time you land on an address you want to send to, press the spacebar while still holding down the Control key. Continue arrowing until you have pressed Space on all desired items. Now you can release the Control key, but do not press any arrow key or you will undo your selections. Then press Enter to open a "new message" window where the people you selected will all be inserted for you. Then it is business as usual; write your message and send it on it's merry way.
