Go into terminal and type emacs. Emacs loads. The menus are across the top; File, Edit, Options, Buffers, Tools, Lisp-Interaction, Help. A double mouse click on one of them will highlight but nothing seems to pull down the menu. F10 and M-` will pull down the terminal window but not the emacs one. Other console editors I have tried in the past (think it was ne - nice editor), one has typed double ESC (or another command) and the menu comes down. So it must be a simple keystroke I'd have thought. james
