In the Magic library (from Peter Hellinger) I store the string "[OK" in
a button object.
If I use it in my program, the character after "[" is underlined (without
displaying the "[") and ALT O selects the button.
In my program I have no single source line more than whith a usual FormDo
call. And I don't have to store anything in my program.
That's why "activation characters MUST be STORED as uppercase" makes no
sense to me.
