OK, I think I see the problem. Try the latest commit from Subversion.

I'm sure that I can do this, but I'd like some general input from
others: do you use the MouseWheel to select from these dropdowns?

At first I thought it was a problem with the escaping in XML, but
it's actually in wxPython! I tried this code:
>>> f = dabo.ui.dForm()
>>> f.Caption = "Before"
>>> print f.Caption
Before
>>> f.Caption = "Before & After"
>>> print f.Caption
Before After
>>> f.Caption = "Before && After"
>>> print f.Caption
Before & After
>>> f.Caption = "Before \& After"
>>> print f.Caption
Before \ After
So this will take more than a little tweaking. For now, use double
ampersands (shades of VFP!).
