What is missing in Emacs here? I know from what you told me before that 
Emacs does not setup accelerator keys for the menus (which at least on 
w32 are underlined characters). However on w32 this is not needed to 
activate the menus with ALT. It suffices to just press ALT. (Usually 
once but sometimes in some apps twice, which I believe is due to 
somewhat bad handling of accessibility in those programs.)
