OK, so it is Windows idiosyncracy!

If there is more than one '&' in menu item string, Windows (at least XP) 
underlines the last one and takes the first one as the shortcut key.
I've had to add code to ensure that there is at most one.

Given that this once worked (say in 1999), I suspect earlier versions of 
Windows did something different.  (Those versions used to display 
underlines are all times.)

Fixed in 2.7.0 alpha shortly (and I've forced this one to 'p' rather than 
'i').
