1. & is supported on all platforms.
2. ALT should be working (we do nothing to turn it off).  If you are sure
it's really a problem, enter a bug report.

I have a couple of questions concerning button and menu mnemonics.

1. Is there a platform agnostic way to set mnemonics?  The ampersand
(&File) works on a win32 platform, but is this the way to do it on all
platforms?  If multiple platforms support mnemonics should the API be
changed to add simple support for it( button.setMnemonic(F) ), similar
to setAccelerator?

2. Some of the win32 platforms support not showing mnemonics until the
ALT key is pressed.  SWT seems to ignore this.  Is this by design?

Thanks
Rob Hughes
