Multi-select in the Session History grid

Hi!
I am a registered user and love your product.
I am a software developer and I have some ideas for AnalysIR improvement.
I'd like the Session History grid a lot more if I could select more than one record at a time for deletion. Most windows grids allow Left-Click on a record to set a "anchor record" and then Shift-Left-Click on some other record to select a range of records. Now you can do a mass-delete, export (or whatever is appropriate) of the selected records.
Alternatively Ctrl-Left-Click can select individual records with gaps in between them. Usually a grid component supports both methods if it supports multi-select at all.
The reason I need to select a block is that my IR sensor occasionally picks up sunlight from my office window. This fills up the grid with dozens of bogus records. It would be nice if I could close the the window blinds and then quickly delete the junk records without deleting the good ones. Selecting-them-one-at-a-time-and-deleting-them-one-at-a-time is excruciating.
Adjustable grid column widths would be nice.
Movable grid columns would be nice.
Clicking on column headers to sort would be nice.
Dockable panels instead of the current group boxes would be nice.
Storing all grid and dock customization in the registry for future sessions would be nice.
Could you store the Source selection in the registry and load it at startup? It currently defaults to a source that kinda-sorta works with my IR hardware. This drives me nuts when my setup acts weird upon startup and it turns out to be AnalysIR using the wrong source hardware protocol.
I hope you find my ideas useful.
Best regards,
Kevin G. McCoy
