For WinXP, Win2003, using: Control Panel | Display | Appearance tab | Effects Button I find a checkbox labeled: "Hide underlined letters for keyboard navigation until I hit the ALT key". When I uncheck this box, I'm still not getting visible underlines on the main menu options. Rather, I get a behavior where pressing the ALT key depresses the left most main menu selection in button fashion; allows left-right main menu item navigation with the arrow keys; and, when you press the ENTER key, the submenu of the depressed menu item is displayed with its accelerator keys underlined. To check what would happen, I changed the AutoHotKeys property of the TMainMenu component from maAutomatic to maManual. This had no effect. Are you aware of any other setting in the Control Panel, Display applet that might alter this further? Thanks Warren S.
