Hi, I use this with column view without a problem. As mentioned before, you just want to make sure your interacting with the table or browser in finder. And make sure you use VO up or down arrow to navigate instead of the arrows by themselves. hth Ricardo Walker rica...@appletothecore.info

Hi Ray and John I see one difference in what you have done John from what I did. I am using column view, and your message said you were using list view. I don't know why that should make a difference. But when I turned cursor tracking off mine worked, and when it was on, mine didn't. Sent from

Hi Gigi, I've been successfully able to use vo+command+spacebar to select non-contiguous items but I always have to interact with the table first in list view in order to do so. I've never had to select more than 5 to 10 items though so I can't comment on selecting a great many items. Andrew O

Hold up though. You forgot something *really!* important about this method. This only works if cursor tracking is disabled. 1. With cursor tracking enabled, select the first msg you want to begin selecting noncontiguously from. By the way, also, be sure you're interacting with the table firs
