Solaris Common Desktop Environment: User's Transition Guide

Q. How do I select more than one item?

A. Whether you are selecting multiple elements that are adjacent (contiguous selection) or are located throughout a collection (discontigious selection) use Control+mouse button 1 to select the elements. For example, use this keyboard-and-mouse combination when selecting multiple files shown in the File Managerwindow, or when selecting several messages from the Mailer Message Header List.
