hi,

it's a tricky game...;-)

try this: add a property to your root folder:

name = name_of_your_select_list
type = lines

enter some values.

then do this in a PythonScript and have a look at your current folder's 
properties:

context.manage_addProperty ( 'prop_name', 'name_of_your_select_list', 
'selection')

you must quote your 'name_of_your_select_list' when adding a selection 
property.

got it?

cheers, maik
