Default Selecting vertices on different objects

I'm a newbie at AC3D, but I can't find this in the FAQ.

How do you select vertices on different objects at the same time.
For example:
you've got two boxes
you want to select 2 vertices on box 1 and two vertices on box 2.
How to you do that? I tried ctrl select, shift select, alt select, etc. But, no matter what I did, only the last vertice was selected.

Hold down shift and click/drag with left-mouse-button.

shift+right-mouse-button will remove those vertices from the selection.

I forgot to say in my first message that I tried that. But, it doesn't seem to work in the way I wanted.

When I do what you suggest, it selects every vertex contained in the box. Then, when I select "Vertex=>Snap objects by vertices", I get the following message.

"select two vertices - both of different objects"

What I wanted to do was 'discretely' select points without using a box.

Is that possible?

Make sure you are in Vertex mode and then you'll be able to select individual points without using a box.
