Script to Get Finder Selection?

Hi,

I'm trying to write an AppleScript that utilizes the Finder front window's selected item(s). For a selection of 1 item,

get selection of application "Finder" as Unicode text

works, but I haven't found any ready way to get a selection containing multiple items. It looks like I can save this selection, write it out to a text file, and process the resulting file, but this will involve handling lots of binary gobbledygook: can anybody suggest a more straightforward way to access the selection?

TIA,

Jonathan
