How do I access the options under the File/Edit/Options/Buffers/Tools/Java/Help menu at the the top of emacs? Thanks.

I use google for everything, even as a dictionary. (type in each of two possible spellings, more hits = correct spelling).

However, the link still doesn't help:

"On text-only terminals with no mouse, you can use the menu bar by typing M-` or <F10> (these run the command tmm-menubar)."

F10 is expose, and i don't have a key labeled " ` ".

Any more suggestions?

ctrl-clicking brings about a few extra menus, but not the ones in question.

Yes, you do (unless you've got some keyboard that is unlike ones I've used). It's a backtick (upper-left, just below escape on my PB). 'M' is the meta, not the letter 'M'. Press escape and then backtick and you'll get to the menus. Don't go there expecting to discover any breakthroughs in UI simplicity, though :-).

This key sequence will also do it:

"esc" and then "`"
