Hi, 

I have several list in which the user has to choose one or
more items.

It's done with popupmenues by now, which fits great into the
GUI, but doesnt allow for multiple selected items.

I know multiselect can be done by listboxes, but these take
up a lot of space. I would have to make the listboxes adapt
in size to the number of contained items (if possible) to
save some space.

I would really like to here some comments on this matter.
It's rather a design question than a technical problem.
Although a solution on how to enable multiselect on
popupmenues would be ideal. 

Thanks in advance...
