Although I hate that method (F10 to activate the menu) myself, I do
understand that point of view.  That's why I said in the previous message
that I think if Pib wants to standardize on the F10 method, he should
remove all traces of the "sometimes-works" Alt-letter method of accessing
the system menu.  The inconsistency of the current scheme is the worst part.
