I've gotten a little farther - I define a translation
on my list widget that looks like:

#augment
<Btn2Down> : ListElementSelect()
<Btn2Up> : Doit()

This highlights my selection and calls Doit, but
when I try to get selectedItemCount, it returns
0!  

I am using Motif 1.0, and looking at the documentation
I realize that 1.1 has *lots* of enhancements for
doing this, but I don't have the option (yet) of
using 1.1.
