  25. i need a script that would allow me to place... lets say fred 
  26. and clown (but not steve) so that i can use them for 
  27. some processing...
  28. any ideas...  i need something that will allow the user
  29. to select multiple fields with the mouse (perhaps even deselect
  30. when they make a mistake).. so that i can do some processing
  31. on the fields...
