- This is a good idea; if there was a standard keyboard definition changing
- program that could alter resource files (the location of the strings
- in the resource would have to be standard too) then the programs could
- simply read the strings from the resource to find out what keyboard
- shortcuts are associated with what menu entry. Who would write the
- keyboard definition changer, though?

- Good point; a central program would also make large applications a
- little smaller (which is always good).
