-//Prompt With List// action lets you select from a list of values.  The values should be placed on separate lines, and can come from a clipboard, variable, file or text within the action.
+The //Prompt With List// action (v8+) lets you select from a list of values.  The values should be placed on separate lines, and can come from a clipboard, variable, file or text within the action.
+You can include a title (which is only displayed when the search field is empty), as well as a default search string (v8.1+).  You can also configure the width of the window (narrow, normal, wide, automatic) and whether to allow multiple selections (v8.1+).
+If a single entry is returned, it is returned by itself (no newline character).  If multiple entries are returned, they will be returned as multiple lines, each followed by a newline character (8.1+).
 The values are displayed in a Spotlight-like window, similar to the [[action:Trigger_Macro_by_Name|Trigger Macro by Name]] action.
