I am not sure I understand you, but & is the character you put before a 
character in the menu string on w32 to mark that character as an 
accelerator in menu. (It will be shown underlined then.)

An example: "&Help" will show "Help" in the menu with "H" underlined.

So fixing this is a w32 specific problem.

We discussed a little bit before adding the possibility to use 
accelerators in the menus. Perhaps this should be fixed when that is 
done to avoid splitting the code to much?
