So > it must be a simple keystroke I'd have thought. Emacs does not yet support pull-down menus on a text terminal. This will be added soonish on the development trunk. F10 should allow you to use an emulation of the menu in the echo area. I don't understand what you mean by "F10 and M-` will pull down the terminal window but not the emacs one" -- what does "pull down terminal window" means here? In Emacs, F10 and M-` invoke the command tmm-menubar.
