Well, I've never actually done this that I can recall, but...I think the Toolbox builds the Apple menu in such a way that any standard menu meta-characters are used correctly. So since a menu item whose name ends in a /x (where x is any normal character) is given x as its command key, you should be able to call your DA something like MyDA/L and it should use Command-L. Of course, you risk causing problems with any applications that want to use that command key for menu items. A better idea might be to consider writing it as an FKEY. At least make the key user-configurable. -Ben Haller (deadman@garnet.berkeley.edu)
