Mnemonic

This attribute specifies a keyboard mnemonic character for a tile. The mnemonic
character is underlined in the tile's label. The value is a quoted string of a
single character that must be one of the letters of the tile's label. (No default).
The character does not have to be unique to the dialogue box. If more that one
tile has the same mnemonic, you press Tab to cycle through the tiles sequentially.

The label attribute can also specify a mnemonic by preceeding a character
with an ampersand: (&).
