You are right. Therefore all predefined shortcuts from the rsc-file are  
ignored when it's translated - XaAES generates its own in this case.

non-letters are intentionally included (except at the start of a string)  
to increase the number of possible shortcuts.

Once you encounter this case, inform me!

I think it's much easier to let XaAES define the shortcuts, but if it is  
really necessary this could be done.
