>If you hold the shift key down, then arrow, the selected list items will be hi-lited. If they are not appearing hi-lited, check that you have the selecteditembackcolor and selecteditemforecolor properties set to different values than the itemforecolor and itembackcolor properties.

I meant when everything is default. If you multi select items in a listbox and push an up or down arrow the same items stay highlighted but the outline moves with the arrow. This is when no other keys are pressed. Check the behavior of Outlook Express and you will see the difference.
IOW, the FoxPro listbox control does not behave like other MS software with regard to lists.

I can hack this (correct)OE behavior into my lists but I don't like doing that if there is an easier more robust solution.
