In the current release of Windows4GL/OpenROAD, you can only select a single
item in a list field.  If you require multiple selections, you will have to
revert to using a tablefield and write code to manage multiple selections,
such as add a select toggle - my favorite - or use colors to indicate chosen 
rows.

Doubleclick is supported in Windows4GL by setting a logical name (I forget
right off hand, someone in the listening audience will know it and respond).
OpenROAD provides better support for Doubleclick as a trappable event
(i.e., ON DOUBLECLICK...).
