Ferlin:
  You are correct this is what the MSDN says :

  An ampersand (&) character in the text indicates that the
  following character is used as a mnemonic character for the control.
  When the control is displayed, the ampersand is not shown, but the
  mnemonic character is underlined. The user can choose the control by
  pressing the key corresponding to the underlined mnemonic character.
  To use the ampersand as a character in a string, insert two 
  ampersands (&&).
