well i was making a mirc help dialog and i came to making a button with && as the text on it. however i found that it underlines the next letter. is this intentional? if so, why? and if not, can it be fixed?

This is intentional. I'm not sure how to fix it, however. Try using
"&&&&"

Yes, that's standard Windows controls behaviour. Underlined letters make up the keyboard shortcut for the related action (which for buttons is a click). In a button labelled "Test" for example, hitting the "Alt" key and then "e" has the effect of clicking that button.

You see oliver? I told you that you wouldn't be made fun of for not knowing. Now you do and aren't you glad you asked it? :P These people are very helpful and go in detail about your question and answer it quickly.

I learned something new as well. Asking here was the next best thing to do since Jaytea was idle at the time.
