+The {\it item} string for the normal menu items (not submenus or separators)
+may include the accelerator which can be used to activate the menu item
+from keyboard. The accelerator string follows the item label and is separated
+from it by a {\tt TAB} character ({\tt '$\backslash$t'}). Its general syntax is
+any combination of {\tt "CTRL"}, {\tt "ALT"} and {\tt "SHIFT"} strings (case
+doesn't matter) separated by either {\tt '-'} or {\tt '+'} characters and
+followed by the accelerator itself. The accelerator may be any alphanumeric
