Hi Jackie,
but, hee hee, oh goodness! here I was thinking for once I was being clear, 
really concise, and non-verbose, and ... now
I'm asked for more detail!  grrrr! hhahahahaha, lol.

ok well, you asked for it, hahhaha,
basically I wanna use the DLGSelectItemInList dialog, with the new Custom 
buttons feature in jaws11, which I've done, to execue various actions on 
whichever given trunk or station number they first select in the main 
listbox.
but Idealy I'd like to be able to make
ShortCut, alt+Letter keys, I thought they were called accellerators, but 
this might be quite wrong, <grin,>
to activate them.  and in addition, choosing what letters I'd like, to 
assign to  each button, which when pressed with alt, would execute them 
rather than having to tab around to them and press spaceBar/Enter.

I knew that the letters in these labels of fields in dialogs, are usually 
underlined, to indicate to the sightling and to jaws, which letter it is, 
within it's name that will execute it when pressed with alt, and I thought 
maybe if I could make that happen in the label for the Custom Buttons in 
jaws, that this might activate such a feature by default within windows? 
but, I didn't know how/if we could do that within the script manager?
