Hi Ray, When you are in a list of files where you want to do a noncontiguous selection, do the following.
1. locate the first file that you want to select and interact with the list and it will be selected. You can verify this with VO+F6. 2. Press VO+shift+F3 to turn cursor tracking off. 3. Hold down the VO keys and move down the list until you get to the next file that you want to select. 4. While still holding down the VO keys, Hold down the command key along with them and press and release the spacebar. This will select the file that you are sitting on. Keep the VO keys down and move on down the list selecting the desired files with command+space until you have all desired files selected. You can check that the desired files are selected with VO+F6. You can press command+C to copy the selected files to the clipboard. Don't do what I usually do and forget to turn cursor tracking back on with VO+shift+F3 when you are all done.
