Pushing F10 merely sends the input focus to the menubar. Since there may be
many
pulldowns in the menubar, it cannot determine which one you want to drop.
So you must then navigate using the mnemonic for the desired pulldown.

Thus if you have a pulldown "File", with 'F' as the mnemonic, the File
pulldown
will appear if you hit F10 followed by F.

I think the OP is happy with what F10 does, but he wants to have a callback
called when the menu bar gets the focus as a result of the F10 button
press. I don't think there is any suitable callback either for the
XmRowColumn widget that is the menu bar or for the XmCascadeButton widget
that gets the input focus when you press F10 (cascade buttons don't have an
equivalent of the arm callback that push buttons have). So I guess you have
to use XtAddEventHandler or similar to install an event handler for the F10
button bress.
