File, Edit, Options, etc. menus don't work on Emacs 23, any ideas?
emacs
Solution
Just a note that you can access the menus in emacs by `menu-bar-open` F10 by default. This allows you to navigate the menu even when you have opened emacs in no-window mode (`-nw` command line switch).
`menu-bar-open` will attempt to open the menu depending on the frame's terminal device. If all else fails it will open the text mode menu `tmm-menubar`.
You could try F10 to see if the native menu appears. If nothing happens you could make an interactive call to `tmm-menubar` like so: M-x`tmm-menubar`. Does the text menu work?
Even if this does not solve your problem it is useful knowledge to help you navigate the menu when you haven't got a visible frame.
Problem
I upgraded to Emacs 23 a while back and when I did the File, Edit, Options, and other menu options are not available on OS X Snow Leopard. Any ideas how to get them back? Thanks!
