I would suggest using a scrolling window which allows you to view a
sub-set of the list at any time.  When you hi-light an item, it is
locked at the top of the scroll area.  The list continues to be
scrollable in the (now reduced by 1 line) scroll window, and you
can select another item.  This allows you to select up to N items
from the list, where N is the size of your scroll window.  You might
want to consider the case where the user decides to select the same
item several times... shouldn't be a big deal to handle.
