I believe they are the same, groups and categories.  I use Context menus to
handle them.

Multiselection is possible, but it acts just a bit different than
we're used to because arrows themselves don't move selection.  Here's
my recommendation on how to select a contiguous string of contacts in
Skype 4.1:  Move to the first one, press Space to make sure it's
selected, then Shift+DownArrow once for each contact below it you
want.  JAWSKey+Shift+DownArrow will tell you who is selected.  Then
you can use the Context menu and "Add to Category" to add them all to
a category.  Unfortunately I don't see a way to select several
noncontiguous contacts at once from the keyboard.
