I have a class JG_MENUOPT.

The only constructor is:

JG_MENUOPT( char *n, void (*cb)(void) )
  {
    allegro_exit();
    cout << n;
    exit(0);
  }

When I send the string, "&Show Barquie", it prints out, "Show Barquie"
without the &.

    JG_MENUOPT *TheOpt = new JG_MENUOPT( "&Show Barquie", ShowBarquieProc );

No other strings seem to suffer from this phenomenon.  When I made a simple
program to test it, it printed the & like it should.

I've never run into this sort of problem before and I don't really know what
to do.  There's just nothing there that could cause it to do this.    Does
anyone have any ideas about what could cause something like this that I
could go look for in my code?

Thanks!
