What I do is hold the control key down while arrowing up and down the list of files, and when there is one I wish to select I tap the space bar. That selects the file and to make sure you've selected the files you want hit shift control plus down arrow.

I couldn't select the whole list of files in the list and delete it because there were good ones scattered throughout the list. I thought someone told me that you could go up and down the list with shift control down arrow and when you wanted to pass an item by, you could let up on the control key and go to the next item to select. Mouse users can do it how can we. I also tried using the space bar to select or unselect an item and no worky. web site www.rellek.com/stevegomes phone 720-747-4990 -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
