Within the browser (verified on NT under 0.9.6 and 0.9.7), the use of the
<select ... multiple ...> construct with numerous VALUE clauses does not work
properly when attempting to use Ctrl-click on non-contiguous VALUEs. Clicking
on the initial Value selects it, but Ctrl-clicking on anothe value deslects the
first one and selects the new one. A partial sample follows:
<td valign="top"><select size="4" class="FORMlong" multiple

Problem prevents proper completion of forms where multiple selections can and
should be made.

I do not know what it has to do with, but I encounterit on any form that permits
multiple values to be selected for any particular "field".
