   <SELECT NAME="prefos">
   <OPTION VALUE="sunos"> Solaris 
   <OPTION VALUE="wnt"> Windows NT 
   <OPTION VALUE="w95"> Windows 95
   </SELECT>
which is created by this java code: 
   Selection sel = new Selection("prefos", "Preferred OS:", false);
   sel.addOption("sunos", "Solaris");
   sel.addOption("wnt", "Windows NT");
   sel.addOption("w95", "Windows 95");
   String myString = sel.toHTML();
If the size of a Selection is set to an integer value greater than 1, it will appear as a list (see below)
