It's not the Mac way though. ;-)

Accelerator keys.

Sometimes you wonder if Mac shouldn't allow this as well. If Linux uses 
it then MS hasn't "Patented" it (yet). ;-)
I think it may be somewhere in the docs ( I read it in RBTDG and on the 
lists) but there's no Index entry for it in the User's Guide or mention 
in the Language Reference other than it is is used as an accelerator 
key in the StaticText Class notes.
Definitely a shortcoming.
