I trade from IB a lot still - in IB they way they treat shorts is to simply sell an item, there is no sell short action to select from, just buy and sell.

    on the screen I was in, it had the SPY PUTs that I had carried over the weekend and sold, since they were right there on the screen I simply elected to sell the same PUT that I had previously owned - that's all it was nothing more complicated than that.
