Is there a function in ColdFusion to allow the user to browse the local file system and return multiple files? Thanks.

No, not really. To allow the user to upload a file, you need to use the <input type="file"> tag that will allow the user to browse their system to select the file to upload. You then use the cffile tag to upload the file to your server. You can put multiple input tags on the first page and then use multiple cffiles on the action page.
If you have a lot of files to upload or if the files are large, then you may want to look at a 3rd party plug in that can handle it a little better. I have used appletfile in the past with good success. ( I believe)
HTH,
