You are right. We are working on gnumeric last stable version (1.4.3) and that is because we first had to 
have this concept proof to know if the work would be possible or not. Unfortunately, we are not yet able to 
use the official Gnumeric CVS repository due our security policies, but i have already downloaded the last 
version (1.5.2) from the website and i will start my work on it.

Well, the accelerators were stripped due the display restrictions. The menu area was covering almost all the 
770 screen. Is there any way to keep them without showing the keyboard shortcuts (like Ctrl+N for "New") in 
menu?? One choice is to keep the underlines and take the accelerators off.
