Fellow Monks,

I'm using activestate perl on windows 2000, and I've just started to learn Tk, so apologies if this is an idiot question. I can't seem to make the underline work for the topmost item in the menu, in this case I get 'Menu' when I should be getting 'Menu'. Works fine for all the othe bits of the menu. I've included an example script below, but for the life of me I can't spot what I'm doing wrong. Is this just an issue with Tk on Windows platforms? or can I change the script below to get it working.

I'd appreciate your thought on this,
Martymart

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Tk;

my $mw=MainWindow->new;
$mw->title('Menu Test');
my $menubar=$mw->Menu(-type=>'menubar');
$mw->configure(-menu=>$menubar);

my $menu=$menubar->cascade(-label=>'~Menu');
my $menu_file=$menu->cascade(-label=>'~File', -tearoff=>0,);

$menu_file->command( -label=>'~Open',
                     -accelerator=>'Control+o',
                     -command=>[\&print_it, 'Open']);
$menu_file->command( -label=>'~Save',
                     -accelerator=>'Control+s',
                     -command=>[\&print_it, 'Save']);

my $menu_edit=$menu->cascade(-label=>'~Edit');
$menu_edit->command( -label=>'C~ut',
                     -accelerator=>'Control+x',
                     -command=>[\&print_it, 'Cut']);
$menu_edit->command( -label=>'~Copy',
                     -accelerator=>'Control+c',
                     -command=>[\&print_it, 'Copy']);

my $exit=$mw->Button(-text=>'Exit', -command=>[$mw=>'destroy']);

$mw->bind('<Control-o>',[\&print_it, 'Open']);
$mw->bind('<Control-s>',[\&print_it, 'Save']);
$mw->bind('<Control-x>',[\&print_it, 'Cut']);
$mw->bind('<Control-c>',[\&print_it, 'Copy']);
$exit->pack;

MainLoop;

sub print_it{
    my $name=ref($_[0]) ? shift : '';
    my $message=shift;
    print "message: '$message' ...\n";
