| Some strings use the ''&'' character to mark the accelerator character (the one after ''&''). When the user presses ''Alt+X'', where ''X'' is the accelerator character, the associated control (button, edit box, menu, etc.) receives the focus (cursor moves to it, etc.). The accelerator character should be unique for each screen (window). It can be difficult to achieve, as dialogs often use strings from different sources. You'll probably need several attempts to get it right. | Some strings use the ''&'' character to mark the accelerator character (the one after ''&'').
