Hello,
	I am not sure if this is the right group for Motif questions.
	If there is a more specific group, please let me know.  Thanks.

	Anyway, I can not find any way to do extended (multiple,
	discontiguous) selections in a XmList widget from application
	code.  XmListSelectPos/Item() always deselect previously selected
	items, and XmListSetAddMode() does not seem to be available in
	release 1.0.

	The only way appears to be to get currently selected items using
	XtGetValues() and then use XtSetValues() with the updated list?

	(I tried cheating by setting AppendInProgress from <Xm/ListP.h>,
	 but that didn't help...)

	Am I missing some obvious way here?

	Thanks in advance...
