I'm being stupid argueing with the author, but judging from the man
page and the app-defaults file (source isn't on line), it looks like
the accelerators are bound to the Menu, for example 

	Xmh*tocMenu.Accelerators: #override ...

This works because xmh is a great program and defines a bunch of
actions that could probably be invoked from any widget.  What you
can't do is (and what I thought the original person was asking) cause
some an action of one of the menu items:

	Xmh*tocMenu.open.Accelerators: #override \n\
			:Meta<Key>I:	activate()

First off, the menu's items don't have any actions -- they're RectObjs
secondly even if they did have actions they don't have any translation
tables and hench no accelerators.

--pete (I'm probably going to regret this)
