after effects - selecting render queue items via script - queue

Question

i'm looking for a way to select items in the render queue via script.
i'm creating a listBox that contains all the RQ items ( i need to list them in a simpler way then the RQ window, and i'm keeping the index number of each item), and i want to select from that list items and select them in the RQ.
ideas?
thanks
