I eventually worked out how to append multiple items... I had to right-click
to select multiple items...  though if you left-click any items they show up
in the textbox - but aren't appended. I think this should be fixed... I
think it multiple items are selected, their names could appear in the
textbox... e.g. "item1, item2, item3" (separated by commas and spaces).
I think you should be able to shift-left-click to select multiple items as
well (to make it consistent with things such as multiple layer selection)
though ctrl-left-click would be more consistent with the Windows OS.
It's good to see that feature is already part of blender, but I think it
should be made more obvious. (it should be reflected in the textbox, etc)
BTW, what do you mean by "proper naming does the trick, too"? Do you just
mean it makes it easier to find the parts, which you still have to select
individually to append?
