Good!  I have no w2k handy to check...

Oops!  You're right == with Ctrl-click it works, and gives, e.g:
>>> ofn.openNames()
['C:\\My Documents', 'nntp_servers.htm', 'normal.htm', 'oksimple.htm']
>>>
i.e., first string is the directory, then come the files, one per
string.  Guess the only case in which I'm used to do multi
file selection is from Visual C++'s "Add files to project", and
that one does some magic to make the Ctrl not needed.

Anyway, in this case I guess my previously posted code
answers the original querant (it will no doubt need some
tweaking to allow filters, etc, but that should be easy).
