getting rid of menu bar in text mode

[Lowell Kirsh]

Is there a way to get rid of the menu bar when running emacs in text 
mode? (I mean the bar at the top with "file", "edit", "options"...)

Why isn't this standard?  The menu bar *doesn't do anything* in a console.

Maybe it's a reminder so encourage somebody to implement it.

F10 brings up a *Completions* buffer, which is an odd interface that I
never use because it's awkward.  And F10 still works even when
menu-bar-mode is off.  Is there anything I can do from the menu bar that I
can't do some other way?

Now that I think of it, I was never able to figure out what emacs command
"F10 e t j f" invokes.

IIRC, the MSDOS port is a more traditional text menu implementation,
but nobody backported the stuff to other operating systems.
