I don't remember what the Interface Guidelines say about this, and it
may well depend on the capabilities of the LDEF that any individual
developer uses or writes, but the following is true both for range
selections in Excel and for stuffed files listed in Stuffit's window:

CMD-click will add an individual item to the list selected without
selecting everything between that item and the previous item selected.
