[syslinux] About "MENU TITLE" and possible hotkey handling

3.71, using isolinux and simple menu system menu.c32
To avoid having many different menu config files (one for each submenu) I'm
trying switching from the once required syntax
====
MENU LABEL > ^Firmware/BIOS
KERNEL menu.c32
APPEND menufw.cfg
====
to
====
MENU BEGIN
MENU TITLE ^Firmware/BIOS
<stuff that was inside menufw.cfg>
MENU END
====
However, it's not clear to me how the "^F" hotkey is handled, if it is at
all.
Reading doc/menu.txt it would seem hotkey is only handled in "MENU LABEL";
however, when I use the above syntax the "^"char is stripped from the string
when displayed in the main menu (submenu title entry in main menu screen),
where I see
Firmware/BIOS (^ stripped, but no hotkey available)
while it's printed in the title of the submenu screen, where I see
^Firmware/BIOS
The stripping of the "^" char makes my wonder whether there's a way, maybe
undocumented, to use hotkey in "MENU TITLE" too; is there a way?
Thanks
