SYMPTOMS
Creating a menu with pads that begin with the same letter causes duplicate
hot keys to be created. This behavior exists because the first letter of
the menu prompt is used for the hot key by default.
CAUSE
This behavior is by design.
RESOLUTION
Create a hot key manually by prefacing the hot key letter with "\<"
(without the quotes). This identifies the subsequent letter as the assigned
hot key.
As a example, to set "1" as the hot key in the menu prompt, "Test1", the
menu prompt would be Test\<1.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
