Hi John,
Make sure you are interacting with the list view of the folder you are working
with.
when I do this, after interacting with the list view, I arrow down to the first
file I want to copy. After that, lock your vo keys with vo semi colon. then
turn cursor routing off with vo shift f3. Cintinue down arrowing to the next
file you want to add to your list of file sto copy and hit command enter. Down
arrow to the next file and hit command enter.
When you are done adding files, turn cursor tracking back on with vo shift f3.
Turn your vo back to normal by hitting vo semi colon again. After that you can
do your copy command of command c and then go to wherever you want to move or
paste the files and do command option v or command v, whichever you need.
hth,
Caitlyn
