you are going to have to use to get your spacing. but, you can
also
use CSS to get your font formatting...
<select multiple name="class" style="font-family:Courier
New,Courier,mono;">
<option><pre>CS 445 3 Fall 2005</pre></option>
<option><pre>ENEX 333 2 Fall 2005</pre></option>
...
</select>
I suggest you give the user the option to repeatedly "add" classes to some
sort of internal list/db table, even if they multi-select to save time.
they will probably be more grateful for it.
