Resource question

i have been reading some tutrial about resources etc but there is something he never explained like

Code:

---

/*resource.rc*/
#include "resource.h"
IDR_MYMENU MENU
BEGIN
    POPUP "&File"
    BEGIN
        MENUITEM "E&xit", ID_FILE_EXIT
    END

    POPUP "&Stuff"
    BEGIN
        MENUITEM "&Go", ID_STUFF_GO
                MENUITEM "&Do", ID_STUFF_DO
        MENUITEM "G&o somewhere else", 0, GRAYED
    END
END

IDB_MSKIN BITMAP DISCARDABLE "Skin.bmp"

---

why does he add & before stuff and before &file and after G&o etc why does he does that
in normal c this should be shown as & but it didnt show in the string ??

Read the spec for resource files.
The & tells you which letter to press if you want to drive the menu from the keyboard.
