Brent. Please read the emacs man page, and see if that gets you started. If 
not feel free to ask again.

Pretty much everything is driven with Ctrl-key sequences, or with M-x ( 
escape - x ), and was so long before menus and such were added.

I think there is a text only version of emacs (emacs-nox ) that might have 
better menu support in a term.

do a 
rpm -qa | grep emacs 
to see if you have it installed
