OS 9.02 - Selecting Files

I just started using Macs and I can't figure out how to select a lot of
files at once from a list. Let's say I have a folder with 100 files and I
want to select the first 50 to move them to another folder. In my PC I click
on the first file and then click "Shift + The 50th File" and all the 50
first file will be selected. In my Mac I have to click Shift + file by file
to select them all. There has to be an easier way, right?

Thanks

In the list view, just click to the side of the file name, and drag down (or
up) to select the ones you want. Also works in icon view. This behavior is
the same as on a PC.

In OS X, you can click the first in a list, the shift click the last one you
want, and all in between will be selected.
