I seem to have missed the point somewhere with getting the drop down menus to work (using UK/GB keyboard). The help says M-` and another method is apparently M-x menu-bar-open and also F10. I did have the GUI version installed and then thought I'd try the console version - I am wondering if there is a conflict somewhere. thanks james
