Is there a name for this?

We often see a GUI feature that shows 2 list boxes and a series of
buttons in between them with "<", "<<", ">>", and ">" options.

Is there a name that is commonly used for this?

I don't quite understand your question. The buttons perform the
"Remove", "Remove all", "Add all", "Add" functionality (in this order),
which means that the corresponding items will be taken from one listbox
and added to the other.

Thanks, let me try to explain better.
This setup (meaning the whole thing -- 2 lists and 4 buttons) is so
familiar that I thought there might be a name that is commonly given to
the complete feature.

I'm sure many developers have created a composite control with this
motif.

I did see one reference to these as 'pick-fling' boxes. Maybe there is
no other commonly used term, but it would be handy for designers to
have a simple name for this, rather than have to describe it.
