Selecting Objects - VMware Fusion

I am having a problem trying to select objects after opening a workfile in Eviews. On a PC you can simply hit "Control" and clicking on random objects in the list to select which ones you'd like to highlight and then open. It seems I can not do this at all while running Eviews in VMware. I can only select a group of objects that are next to one another. I've found myself having to constantly rename objects so that they are next to each other so I can select them together. Is there another way to do this?? Thanks.

Deselect the "Enable Mac OS keyboard shortcuts" item in your VMWare Preferences menu.

Ok, I did that, however when I hold control and click it still "right clicks"

You might be better off asking around a VMWare forum then - this isn't really an EViews issue.

I figured it out, so for future reference, if anyone has this problem, just disable Mac OS Mouse shortcuts! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Gareth.

Sorry, complete typo on my behalf - I meant to say mouse shortcuts, not keyboard ones!
