I'm running emacs -nw (within screen) and I see the Emacs menu items across the top of the window. eg. File Edit Options etc. Now sometimes I don't remember the commands especially when I'm in gnus (like I am right now - accessing the mailing list via gmane) and so I like to pull down the menu. Is there a way of accessing the menus via the keyboard? (and yes I could run emacs in X and use the mouse but I was just wondering about this way since I can see the menu items). Jonathan
