Last week I wrote asking about a problem I had regarding the use of mnemonics under UIL. I have since found out that the mnemonics are indeed there (i.e. they work) but simply don't appear (the appropriate character in the label is not underlined). Any ideas? -- George B.

Does the case (i.e. upper or lower) of the mnemonic you specify match the case of the letter you wish underlined? I.e., for 'Open', the mnemonic should be 'O' for underlining to work, even though pressing 'o' actually triggers the selection.

I found that I couldn't specify the ascii character but rather the character's decimal value. For example, XmNlabelString = 'Open'; XmNmnemonic = 79; and this worked fine to give O as the mnemonic for Open. -- Milan

I have things like: XmCascadeButton { arguments { XmNlabelString = "File"; XmNmnemonic = keysym("F"); }; . . . }; I get the F underlined correctly, and can pull down the menu with Alt-F. I think that perhaps you should be using the keysym() function, not quoting the key number directly.
