Thanks, Jeanne. That sounds a lot simpler than the workaround I came up with: use the Application Overview to see the button text of the menu, copy it, paste it into a word processor, enter tabs, then paste it back into the Application Overview! Come to think of it, my solution is pretty close to what Ken Ray suggested that I do. Thanks, Ken.

Now, about the other questions: can I specify a keyboard equivalent of a menu item that needs Command+Shiftkey+letter or a Function key (e.g. F2)?

I did read Richard Gaskins' recent e-mail about hierarchical menus.
where he seemed to say that entering <tab)menuname would do it. If I
type <tab>menuname into the Menu Manager, however, the resulting menu

tab key, it just pops into the next text entry field, so that doesn't
work :-)
Not literally "<tab>" - a tab character.

In the Menu Manager, you can insert the tab character by selecting the menu
item, then clicking the right-arrow icon to the right of the menu name (its
tooltip is "Make the selected menu item into a submenu item"). If you're
building the menu in a handler, you'd use something like
  put "First Item" & tab & return & "Subitem" & return \
     & "Last Item" into button "File"
