Choosing Items from a List

You can choose one or more items from a list. This lets you move one or more items from one window to another where you can view, edit, or process the items. (For example, you can choose an item from a list of titles and view details about that title.) You can also choose items from a list to move them from one process to another.

Some Horizon windows let you use the standard Microsoft Windows SHIFT and CTRL keys to choose multiple items in a list.
