SUMMARY
On a form that contains menus, when a menu is selected, you can press the arrow keys to cycle through the menus. However, this doesn't include the control box in the upper-left corner of the form.

This behavior in Visual Basic for MS-DOS differs from the behavior in Microsoft Windows versions 3.0 and 3.1, and it also differs from the behavior in Visual Basic for Windows.

The following reproduces the behavior:


 * 1) Create a new form and put two menus on it.
 * 2) Compile and run the program.
 * 3) Press the ALT key to activate the menus.
 * 4) Press the right arrow key and notice that only the menus are cycle.
