I can assign "%ALT+o%" to a function key and have it activate the OK button 
in pop-up windows...as long as the OK button shows the "O" as the 
underlined letter.  Some Millennium OK buttons show the "K" as the 
underlined letter, in which case you'd need a function key with "%ALT+k%" 
assigned to it.  Unless/until the shortcuts for OK are made more consistent 
in Millennium, I think using Alt-o or Alt-k or the mouse is the best 
bet.  (And in some situations where an OK button is presented, the Enter 
key is the simplest path.)
