Firstly, it would depend if the combo box actually had multiple select 
enabled, but anyway, you would need to first open it up like the other guy 
said using the Alt + Down arrow key combo (if in IE, then yes, first hit 
enter to go into forms mode), then either move down to the first one you 
actually want to select and then start holding the Ctrl key, or do that 
initially, and use the up and down arrow keys to move up and down - don't 
think you can really use first letter navigation in this sense.

You would then keep the Ctrl key held in and use the combo of it and the 
space bar together to toggle selection of items.
(this is the same way you can select certain files in the Windows Explorer 
file list box FWIW)

Then, after you have marked what you want as selected, if it's a combo box, 
then I reckon the best is to use Alt + up arrow, but if in IE, then simply 
hitting enter should close it as well as getting you out of forms mode, but 
not sure how that would affect multiple selections.
