Default Menu items are not displaying the access key underscore


The underscores display fine at dev. time but at run time there are no
underscores on the menu items.

What am I doing wrong?

Do they show up by default for any other app? If so then I am not sure the
answer.

Maybe you only see the underlines when you press the alt key?

If so, then you need to enable that option to always show underlines:

RightClick desktop,
Select Appearance
Click Effects button
Uncheck 'Hide underlined letters bla bla'

Oops! That's it, I hadn't even noticed. Thanks.
