Any thoughts on how I can track down what is preventing my menu

I've been trying to workaround the issue of how menus are drawn when the
menu buttons that display menus are colorized. I tried adding some proxy
buttons to trigger the menu buttons which sort of works, but somewhere
along
the way I lost keyboard triggering of the original menu buttons.
Possibly related: I created a new test stack and used the Menu
Builder to
add a standard menubar. I noticed that the buttons in the default menu
display their keyboard control equivalents, whereas the buttons in my
stack
do not. I can't remember, is there a property/setting that enables this?
There's accelKey and accelMods. Menu buttons have some specific
properties that have to be set too, so compare yours with the ones
created by the menu builder.
I should have added that you don't actually need to use these commands
most of the time. You can indicate the keyboard shortcuts by adding
symbols to the button contents on each line that requires one. As of 4.0
you can find the updated syntax in the engine change log that lets you
add keyboard shortcuts comprised of more than one modifier key. If you
only need one modifer per menu item, you can just use the old way: put a
slash and a letter after the menu item. For example, if you want the
Copy item to use Cmd-C, its line in the button contents would be:
Copy/C
Adding an ampersand after one of the letters will cause it to draw with
an underline on Windows menus, so Copy would look like this if you want
both the old-style underline and the command key shortcut:
C&opy/C
The menu builder can add accelerators and modifiers via its interface
checkboxes. If you do that and then look at the button contents, it's
easy to see how it works.
