Glenn, Just for completeness I've included your comments that you added to this item. I've tried your steps, and it works for me!:)
Cheers, jez. Windows 2000 and Windows XP have a "new" feature not seen in prior versions of Windows. I suspect people experiencing this problem are attributing it to Win32::GUI (which they are using for development) and simply not noticing that ALL programs suddenly have been omitting the Tell-tale (keyboard navigation indicator, or extra keyboard help) _. The Windows feature can be found in two places on Windows 2000: 1) Display properties, Effects Tab, checkbox entitled "Hide keyboard navigation indicators until I use the Alt Key". To enable the Tell-tales, clear this check box. OR... 2) Control Panel, Accessibility Options, checkbox entitled "Show extra keyboard help in programs". To enable the Tell-tales, check this check box. Yes, the two boxes affect the same setting, but are displayed and described in the opposite sense. I believe that in Windows XP, only the 2nd option exists to control the setting.Windows 2000 and Windows XP have a "new" feature not seen in prior versions of Windows.
