I think you're looking for `toggle-frame-maximized' or
`toggle-frame-fullscreen'. You could put one on Alt-F10 with something
like this:

    (global-set-key (kbd "<M-f10>") 'toggle-frame-fullscreen)

Of if you want Emacs to automatically go full screen when you open it,
perhaps something like this:

    (add-hook 'after-init-hook 'toggle-frame-fullscreen)

Best,

John
