To select more than one file you use the arrow keys with the Ctrl or Alt 
modifier. I can't say which because John Harper has changed this back and 
forth as he has changed Sawfish to default to using Ctrl or Alt. Anyway, 
Ctrl-Space (or Alt-Space) selects or deselects the currently keyboard 
focused file, which Ctrl-arrow (or Alt-arrow) moves the keyboard focused 
file without changing the selection.
