pirut-1.3.9-1.fc7 Being able to select a range of packages (using the standard method of holding down the Shift key when clicking on the second endpoint) would be helpful in selecting large numbers of packages off the "List" screen.
Should be doable... will try to get done in the next few days
Splufty!
Done for pirut 1.3.18
Confirmed fixed for me in pirut-1.3.31-1.fc8.noarch.
