I’m having trouble getting menu accelerators to work. From reading the  
Fox documentation it looks like menu accelerators should automatically  
be registered when the accelText property of an FXMenuCommand is set,  
but it doesn’t seem to work for me. I’m creating the UI using foxGUIb.  
Any advice or pointers would be appreciated.
