Thank you very much for that info. THis will save lots of time, but
yes if there's a means to do this in OSX, that would be mighty fine
as well.

Yep, there is, but it gets a little odd. I don't know of a way
inside of OS X itself to do this with the keyboard, but VO provides
a way to do it--if there's an easier way, someone please post it
here as I'm sure we'd all be interested.
What you have to do is go into the folder where the files and/or
folders you want to copy are located. Highlight the first item you
want to select, then disable VO's cursor tracking with VO-keys+shift
+f3. Use the VO keys to navigate to each file you want to select,
and press VO-keys+command+spacebar on it. Once you've got them
selected, hit command+c to copy, and finally turn cursor tracking
on with VO-keys+shift+f3 again. Then you can paste them wherever
you like.
The reason you need to turn cursor tracking off is that, if left
enabled during this process, the highlight will move while you are
moving the VO keys, as if you moved it with the normal keyboard
navigation keys due to VO moving the keyboard focus with the VO
focus. This erases your selection, just as it would in a windows
environment. Disabling cursor tracking solves this problem.
