NM_COMMANDSTRING is for use when you want to use a keyboard command
other than an Amiga-combination, e.g. an F-key. In that case you must
pass a string containing a description of the keyboard command, and
Gadtools will put that on the right hand side of the menu directly
rather than using Intuition's Amiga-key support. You must also check
for the keyboard command yourself; Intuition only translates right-
Amiga-combinations.

Then that's a bug in VBCC.

Try putting &abortdrawfunc instead. But do report this bug.
