Is there any trick to making a DA receive accMenu messages in response
to command-key shortcuts?  I have a menu that works fine when you select
items with the mouse, but shortcuts are just passed on as keydown
events.  The menu id is in the DRVR header and the dCtlEntry, and it's
in the DA's range of owned resource numbers.  I'm sure that I don't want
to call MenuKey myself, but otherwise I don't know what to do in order
to let users access the menu from the keyboard.
