In this type of dialog or similar, how can I move the current

Is there something built into Applescript or Mac OS X I can use or
do I
have to handle this on my own? Any suggestions?
You don't have to do anything; it's already built in.
Assuming you're using 10.4 (Tiger), that is. Of course, the fact
that "choose from list" won't attempt to sort the list for you can
make type-select sort of confusing to use, but it does work.
