Have you seen the white paper from Oracle titled:
"Developing Bit-mapped Applications with SQL*Forms and SQL*Menu"
This paper describes a method of simulating check boxes that can be selected with the mouse. I have tried it and it seems to work satisfactorily. Granted, the appearance is not exactly according to Mac standards, but, it does make for a user friendly point & click selection.
The paper also discusses several other points of interest to developers that will be implementing on Macs or in the X windows environment.
