@{FG Highlight}MENU COMMANDS@{FG Text}

Keyboard shortcuts for menu commands are shown in the menus. Most menu
shortcuts use the Right Amiga key, which is represented by the @{B}@{I}A
@{UB}@{UI}symbol in the menu. To use one of these shortcuts, hold down
the Right Amiga key and press the character shown in the menu.

Type menu commands followed by a caret ^ symbol and then a character can
be executed by pressing the character while holding down the Ctrl key.
Object menu commands followed by a single character can be executed by
pressing the character without holding down a qualifier key. (If the
Object menu shortcut is uppercase, Shift must be held down.)

Only Right Amiga keyboard equivalents can be shown in the menus with
AmigaDOS 2.0­2.1. The Type and Object menu keyboard equivalents will not
be visible although they will still function.
