underline a letter in the label of an uimenu object

Hello !

Is it possible to underline a letter in the label of an uimenu object ?

It doesn't appear to be possible since there is no 'interpretter' option (the ability to add LaTeX).

(Though you use a 'separator' as a kind of underline) From the doc for uimenu:

f = uimenu('Label','Workspace');
  uimenu(f,'Label','New Figure','Callback','figure');
  uimenu(f,'Label','Save','Callback','save');
  uimenu(f,'Label','Quit','Callback','exit',... 
         'Separator','on','Accelerator','Q')

Menu label. A string specifying the text label on the menu item. You can specify a mnemonic for the label using the '&' character. Except as noted below, the character that follows the '&' in the string appears underlined and selects the menu item when you type Alt+ followed by that character while the menu is visible.

Yes! I had those '&' in my menu but I couldn't find the underline characters this morning.
