That is apparently how it indeed does come in. We never dealt with <select
multiple> before ... the above looks like one of those early-days-of-the-web
ideosyncrazies. The LON-CAPA code that deals with processing the form
submissions (adapted from standard-CGI-code-libs) does not deal with this.

Now I got it. Sorry, I am slow.

The posted parameters get separated at the "&" into name-value pairs, and then
a loop runs over all of them and does

$ENV{'form.'.$name}=$value;

Thus, only the last occurance of $name gets stored. I will modify that some
time today. Check out lonacc.pm later today.
