1. IDE 1.03a
Using IDE 1.03a and WinXP Pro 2, the accelerator keys on the menus are not
functional. If I hit the "alt" key, they do show up as underlined. But hitting
the key combination that should drop the menu down, doesn't.
Is this a configuration issue of some sort, or is it that way on everybody's Win
XP Pro machine?
Thanks
Mike

You asked me this question earlier and I said I didn't see ALT+letter working
anywhere in IDE. But I was mistaken.
Editor.exw and CodeEditor MenuItems respond to Alt+letter. It could be that
IDE_syntax.ew has hijacked the Alt key. I'll need to do research.

I found an error in using & before the same letter in more than one Menu in the
same window. So I changed &Project in IDE to P&roject and now the Menus work with
Alt key.
One thing I notice is that the MainWindow must have focus before the ALT key
shows any underscores. Design, Properties, ProjectView and ToolBox are not in the
Main Window although they appear to be.
Thanks for reporting this bug. This will be fixed in IDE v1.0.4 which I hope to
release in January.
