After discussing this with Lennart, it turns out that he uses a
feature called "sticky keys" in Windows which allows him to type `Alt'
and `f' separately to send the Alt+F (or Alt-f) event. Emacs is
currently not interpreting this type of an event (except by mapping it
to Meta-f via the w32-alt-is-meta setting).
But the interpretation needed for a Windows user is to activate the
menubar item that begins with "f" (e.g., the File menu). Pressing
`Alt' and `f' separately doesn't work for Lennart because he uses
sticky keys.
I hope that clarifies the conflusion. Lennart needs the Alt+character
events interpreted by Emacs to access the menus via keyboard.
Cheers,
Uday
