Do you mean the "Key text"? You have to specify them in the options "Key Label" and "Key Text".

marvinjmd,

Could you post the offending menu code (not the whole menu; just one of the lines that doesn't work).

sorry my english maybe i was not clear... the menu works fine..... but with the mouse!!! it doesn´t work with the keyboard shorcuts i assign it.. example \<file.. not work if i press Alt+f.... pri\<nt dont work with Alt+n and so.... the menu has the option to work in a top level form so i call with command line in load event : do menu.mpr with this , .t.

So, are you are saying that you can see the underscores, but they alt+letter keystrokes don't do anything? I can't think of any reason for that.

Does that apply also to the top-level menu? In other words, if you press Alt+F, would the File menu actually drop down?
