2: How do I bind a shortcut key to an action/function without using the

Hello Wei,
Can you provide a small sample that reproduces this problem?
Thanks!
I have attached the small sample to this email. The environment is mono 
1.1.6, OSX 10.3. I could mono the same program on fedora 2, however, the 
menu never really showed.

The error message I got is:
