Hi all,

I am just learning Linux and am trying to get to grips with emacs - so far 
so good.  I use Ctl/Alt/F1 to go into terminal mode and use xemacs - no 
problem, plain screen, keyboard commands only.  When I try emacs I get the 
menu bar (File Edit Options etc) at the top of the screen but don't have a 
mouse attached.  Is there a way to access the menu in a similar way as I 
might in Windows (Alt key).

TIA, Paulie
