if 0 { This is a utility to assist adding keyboard acceleration to menus. It extracts most information from the menu's underlined character to accelerate it.

(formatting fixed a bit by [FW]) }


 # Purpose -
 # turn all underlined menu entries into bindings
 # Assumes all underlines are unique
 # Todo 
 #   - if widget that is being bound to keyboard events already has that binding figure out what to do.
 #   - the UcharList dows not work on recursive calls so it will not catch duplicate characters
 #   - if something dynamically changes the menus this invoke system will break down.
 #   - fix so that topWin figured out from menuWidget. It seems that it is a toplevel
 #   - add somehow some generations of help informatin for application.
 # Notes -
 #  peculiar behavior when a keyboard focus is in a widget and both widget and topWin with bindings have same keybindings since they will 
 #  execute twice. Example is a entry widget and a ctrl-C operation which is also binded in the topwindow.
 # Assumptions - you only want these shortcuts to work when a topWin's widget has keyboard focus. plus the widget has the topwin in its bindtags list.
