- 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.
