Jeg er blevet bedt om at beholde &-tegnet i oversættelsen, men hvad vil det hedde på dansk?

Danish translation:Afsl&ut
Explanation:
It is difficult to place the & sign without knowing more.
The & sign is used to indicate what shortkey that execute the command. The program might crash if two commands share the same shortcut. So, if &A or &a is used anywhere else in the program, you need to deciede which one that is the most intuitive. In the example from Blangstads answer, this conflict would occure. The conflicting command is actually on the line above E&xit.
#M802D# "S&ammenlign To Filer"
#ME141# "E&xit"

In english, the X is used because it sounds like Exit. I suppose &A is common in Danish, but &u could be an alternative. Short for Ud - Out (of the program).

So, to conclude: Whatever your choice will be, you need to carefully check the whole computerprogram for duplicate.

Explanation:
Jeg har også været ude for tekster med dette tegn, og det er såmænd underordnet, hvordan "&"-tegnet sættes, da jeg går ud fra, at det skal bruges som angivelse af, hvor en genvejstast placeres i en tekst. Placeringen vil afhænge af, hvordan de øvrige bogstaver for genvejstaster er brugt på den pågældende side.
