Missing menu accelerator key underscores

Hello
In a BCB5 project I have specified accelerator keys for most of the menu
items and the underscores show up in the menu designer in design time but
not on the actual menu and nor do they show up on the menu at run time. Has
anyone had this problem ??
Thanks in advance

That is normal, on Windows XP. Whether they are shown or not is an XP

system setting. I can't remember where this is set, though.

The setting is in the Display Properties, Appearance tab, click the
Effects button to get the Effect dialog which has the setting as a checkbox.

Dont know if this is "default" in XP but pressing ALT once shows the
accellerator keys...
