F10 question

[Daniel Klein]

Hello all,

I am using emacs to work on tcl files on a remote server from which I forward 
the display to mine. All this works perfectly and I'm pretty happy. But I 
wanted to start using emacs on my own box as well, yet I had to find that 
some things just don't work the way I'm used to them working from that other 
box. For instance, the delete key should delete forward (as stated just a few 
mails ago as well), and does so on that server, but on my box it functions 
exactly like the backspace key and deletes backward. Much more importantly 
tho, F10, which allows me access to the menus on that other server, as it 
should, opens a minibuffer with 'eval' on my box. I've read through the docs 
and couldn't find anything. Any help?
