Forms 4.5 simulating Windows multiple record selection functionality

I would like to implement the standard Windows multiple item selection functionality into an Oracle Forms 4.5 application. Forms does not support this functionality. I would like the user to be able to select a record in a multi-record text item block, and then either select another record while holding the shift key down (all records in between and including the two selected records would be highlighted and "marked") or select the second and subsequent non-contiguous records while holding down the control key. I would then want to be able to move all the "marked" or selected records to a separate block in the form. Simulating the highlighting used by Windows and being able to identify each of the marked records is key to this functionality.

Thanks,
