I am having a problem with an OWL program I am writing that hopefully someone 
can answer. Using BCOS2 2.0. 

The problem is with the menu. Here is an excerpt from the Resource file 
(I haven't shown the included headers but everything is defined with unique
values)

===clip===

MENU MNU_MAIN 
BEGIN
        SUBMENU "~File", MN_GAME
        BEGIN
                MENUITEM "~New...", MN_GAMENEW
                MENUITEM "~Open...", MN_GAMEOPEN
                MENUITEM SEPARATOR
                MENUITEM "~Save...", MN_GAMESAVE
                MENUITEM "Save ~as...", MN_GAMESAVEAS
                MENUITEM SEPARATOR
                MENUITEM "E~xit...", CM_EXIT
        END

        MENUITEM "~Attack", MN_ATTACK
        SUBMENU "~Help", MN_HELP
        BEGIN
                MENUITEM "Help ~index...", MN_HELPINDEX
                MENUITEM "~General help...", MN_HELPGENERAL
                MENUITEM SEPARATOR
                MENUITEM "~Product information...", MN_HELPABOUT
        END

END

ACCELTABLE ACCEL_MAIN LOADONCALL MOVEABLE IMPURE
BEGIN
        VK_F3,    CM_EXIT,         VIRTUALKEY
        VK_RIGHT, MN_MOVERIGHT,    VIRTUALKEY
        VK_LEFT,  MN_MOVELEFT,     VIRTUALKEY
        VK_UP,    MN_MOVEUP,       VIRTUALKEY
        VK_DOWN,  MN_MOVEDOWN,     VIRTUALKEY
        VK_ESCAPE, MN_REPAINT,     VIRTUALKEY
END

===clip===

Now the problem. The menu works correctly *UNTIL* I hit a key on the keyboard
(any key), and then the two submenus and their items become dimmed, and can
no longer be selected with the mouse, though the accelerator keys do continue 
to work (i.e. I can still hit F3 to exit), and the "Attack"
menuitem continues 
to work correctly (doesn't get dimmed). 

ideas?
