WINDOWS

If a custom view, table, or filter is created (View Table or Filter, Define View Table or Filter) with a name that ends in an ampersand (&) character, the name will appear in the menu followed by an underline. This behavior occurs any time that an ampersand character is used at the end of a custom-defined name field.

The presence of an ampersand at the end of a name overrides any number of ampersands placed anywhere in the name text. Therefore, the name &&View 1& appears in the View menu as &View 1_. To show an ampersand as the last character, the above example would be entered as &&View 1&&.
