The node says this:

   You can also invoke the first menu bar item by pressing <F10> (to run
   the command `menu-bar-open').  You can then navigate the menus with the
   arrow keys.  You select an item by pressing <RET> and cancel menu
   navigation with <ESC>.

This doesn't seem to be true (in emacs -Q). `C-h k f10' shows this:

  <f10> runs the command #[nil "\300\301!\207"
  [w32-send-sys-command 61696] 2 nil nil]
  which is an interactive compiled Lisp function.
  It is bound to <f10>.
  (anonymous)

  Not documented.

Furthermore, M-x menu-bar-open is not recognized - there does not seem
to be such a command.


In GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
 of 2007-06-02 on RELEASE
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600

Did you actually try typing F10?  If so, are you saying that it didn't
work for you?

Yes.

I am not saying that f10 does not work. I am saying that the doc is
incorrect or unclear - this is a doc bug report.

You did not quote this part of the bug report:

> > not seem to be such a command.

The doc says that f10 is bound to a particular command, and that command
does not exist. The doc needs to be corrected.

Thanks for the clarification, I prefer to fix the code to do what the
doc says.

That's OK too. Either way, just so the doc reflects the product.

Done.

As a side-effect, you can now activate the menu bar on a frame other
than the currently selected one, as menu-bar-open allows that.
