Multiple accelerator keys (OpenInsight 32-bit Specific)

Hello folks,
Currently we have Ctrl-S set in form designer as the default accelerator for Save, however, F9 has also been requested as a secondary accelerator. Because form designer does not support multiple accelerators for the same function, I tried using Set_Property as follows to set the additional F9 key:
w=caller1,'.'
Call Set_Property(w:".FILE.SAVE_ROW", "ACCELERATOR", 120)
However, this wasn't as successful as I was hoping. Are multiple accelerators for the same menu item possible, or do I need to create another hidden menu item for the accelerator to function properly?
Many thanks,
Cully

Steve,
Sprezz's suggestion is exactly what we do. In the demo I showed you, most of the relevant AREV type accelerators are maintained in a hidden menu. I believe I actually showed someone in the meeting.
Keep in mind that if you are doing this from within an MDI Frame, then your modal dialog boxes won't receive the benefits of your accelerator. You will have to add a hidden menu to each of those windows individually.

We actually implemented our own Modal dialog boxes that are modal to the window they are called from BUT still allow access to the underlying MDI frame and other windows :).

Well that's helpful information.
Actually, we've done something similar. It was necessary when older versions of OI wouldn't handle event processing correctly.
