List Boxes A list box displays a large number of choices, such as the names of available files. The list box consists of the items within a rectangular area and usually a scroll bar to the right of the items. To choose one item from the list, move the pointer to the item and click MB1. If you can choose more than one item, move the pointer to an item, hold down the Shift key on the keyboard, and click MB1. This places the item into a set of chosen items.
