Some more modifications to the handy "jqMultiSelects" plugin by
rob.desbois (http://code.google.com/p/jqmultiselects/)
An additional optional parameter to define the mode as one of
'move' (the default, old behavior), 'copy', or 'remove'
Created to allow duplication in the destination select box.
An additional function "moveSelect" to move options up and down in a
select box. Pass two paramters: id of select box, and either 'up' or
'down'. This function handles multiple selects, moving the selected
options up or down "in formation"
Finally, the tiny 'reverse' function which is necessary for the 'move
down' function - comment out if you already have it.
It works for me; feedback welcome.
