Yep, that works!
I hadn't even thought to try that. The problem with the mnemonics
seems to be with Menu Builder BTW, and I have already bugzilla'd that.
I suspect it is a separate issue.
I have also bugzilla'd the menu issue, so I will tack this info onto
the report; also, the mnemonics only need to be removed from the items
in the submenu to make it work correctly. Interesting.
Thank you!
