How about setMultIndices ??

No, this gives the following error;
Win32lib.ew:16330 in procedure setIndex() 
true/false condition must be an ATOM 

Even a setIndex( list, singlenum) gives a win32lib (v57.9) popup warning 
error, as follows;
sendMessage(#186) in setIndex failed....
This error disappears if I remove the LBS_EXTENDEDSEL from the List 
control but that of course means no more multi select either.
