I have loaded a copy of DraftSight. When I try to select multipal enties with the pick box it un-selects the previous one when I select the new one. I know this must be a setting that needs to be changed, but can not find it.Any advice would be appreciated.

I'd try either PICKFIRST or PICKADD or whatever the AutoCAD equivalent command is in DraftSight.I think these are the equivalent commands in DraftSight:ENBLENTSELPRESELSETENTSELADDSet each to a value of "1".
