	You are correct that this is the default setup, and if you DON'T change
the selFlags after you do the LNew, then your list will work properly following
the rules that you described.  If you are paranoid about it, you can set 
selFlags to 0 (which is the default) yourself just to make sure.  You might
also want to double-check that when you call LClick you are passing a valid
event.modifiers so that the List Manager gets the modifiers to use for 
selection. (selFlag is useless if no modifiers ever get passed!)
