I finally got around to implementing the multi-select suggested by Anthony ( http://quasipartikel.at/multiselect_next/). It works fine, with a gotcha or two that might be my ignorance. Its use of <div> doesn't seem to play nice with web2py, so some layout broke from using 'regular' multi-select and the suggested one. I added some table 'formatting' and that fixed it. Sort of a 'hammer' approach rather than a high-tech fix, but it works. I'm not skilled enough in css/html to determine what the new multi-select was doing with divs (and who knows; it might not even be divs), but other than that layout problem it works well, and has some nice config/run-time functions (sorting, etc.).
