Because the environment of this process has TERM=screen-256c-bce-s and (getenv "TERM") is supposed to return the value of this environment variable. It's the terminal where emacs was started. It has much richer functionality than a dumb terminal. And although the TERM variable is set to "dumb" emacs uses the features of the terminal quite fine e.g. with respect to colours. >> And finally: I did not find a way from the sub menu back to the >> main menu besides hitting arrow right (which goes to the next >> main menu) and then arrow left.
