David,

The underlines you are referring to are called mnemonics. They are not visible 
by default. Once you press the activator key (`Alt` on Windows/Linux `Command` 
on Mac) you will see them. On Mac, I noticed the menu does not redraw while 
being displayed, so I had to click elsewhere to close the menu and then 
right-click again, and the underlines were then visible.

This is a shame because it makes them less discoverable.

Note, I don’t see any mnemonics in the main menus, probably because most of 
those entries have their own accelerators. (which are faster to use than 
opening a menu and then using a mnemonic)

Here is some more info:

I just did a search of the Help file and I do not see any documentation on the 
context menu or any mnemonics.

Regards,
Adrien
