It's up to the OS to handle this case, but I think they usually do what you
want (iterate through the matches).  I see this on win2000 with the snippet
below:

public static void main (String [] args) {
    Display display = new Display ();
    Shell shell = new Shell (display);
    Menu bar = new Menu (shell, SWT.BAR);
    shell.setMenuBar (bar);
    for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
        MenuItem fileItem = new MenuItem (bar, SWT.CASCADE);
        fileItem.setText ("&File");
        Menu submenu = new Menu (shell, SWT.DROP_DOWN);
        fileItem.setMenu (submenu);
        MenuItem item = new MenuItem (submenu, SWT.PUSH);
        item.addListener (SWT.Selection, new Listener () {
            public void handleEvent (Event e) {
                System.out.println ("Select All");
            }
        });
        item.setText ("Select &All\tCtrl+A");
        item.setAccelerator (SWT.MOD1 + 'A');
    }
    shell.setSize (200, 200);
    shell.open ();
    while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
        if (!display.readAndDispatch ()) display.sleep ();
    }
    display.dispose ();
}
