Pete - I seem to get what I'd expect. Go into terminal and type emacs.
Emacs loads.
The menus are across the top; File, Edit, Options, Buffers, Tools,
Lisp-Interaction, Help. A double mouse click on one of them will
highlight but nothing seems to pull down the menu. F10 and M-` will
pull down the terminal window but not the emacs one. Other console
editors I have tried in the past (think it was ne - nice editor), one
has typed double ESC (or another command) and the menu comes down. So
it must be a simple keystroke I'd have thought.
