When you select an option with the cursor positioning mechanism of
ThinkTank you are shown what character WILL work.  It's not always the
first character of the command, but that's probably acheive a balance
between First-Letter commands and totally rediculous mnemonics.  There
comes a time when you can't have all the functionality you need and
still maintain totally mnemonic commands.  Some TT commands are on non
alphabetic codes.

Registered owners of ThinkTank 2.0 are offered the opportunity to
purchase a non copy protected version, which is a real pleasure to use.
