Hi all.

The multiselectboxes works in the following way:
Turn off the cursor tracking by pressing VO shift f3, and then you can read the 
choices without selecting them. If you don't stop cursor tracking, you'll 
select each item as you read it. To select an item in the listbox, you simply 
press VO command spacebar, and VO will say "selected." You can then read what 
items you have selected by moving the Vo cursor up and down. Don't turn the 
cursor tracking on until you've pressed the "continue" or what ever button 
which will accept your choice in the listbox.
I only have access to a multiselectlistbox in a mailinglist management system 
where you need to log in, so I can't give you a link so you can check it out.
I really love the way VOiceover work which is the reason for 
multiselectlistboxes works out of the box. I've seen many Windows screenreaders 
having issues with these...
Best regards
