I'll have to check, as this is all pretty new, & u might wanna check
now, cuz it's late here & I'm wallopped. But I believe that can be
done by putting an & (ampersand) sign in front of the letter u wish to
underline, e.g. e&xit would underline the x & thus make alt-x the
hotkey. I could be hallucinating, though, as I've done plenty of
programming study over these past few weeks, & sometimes it all gets
mixed up, especially when I'm hammered, like now. It's what I get for
trying to alleviate a sinus headache w/antihistamine type drugs which
I don't normally take.
Explaining what you're trying to accomplish when asking questions
about a script you're writing is always a good thing. Try to be
concise about it & try to divide what you're trying to accomplish into
small increments. Surprisingly, that gives u a lot more clarity
sometimes as well as us.
