   No, the w32 file dialog is not used in this case.

This is the situation in which most people invoke the menu bar from
the keyboard (because they have to, in this situation).  So, in the
main application of the keyboard menu bar feature, the file name is
read from the minibuffer.

   What is the intended behaviour? Luc expects that the dialog would not be 
   shown when F10 down RET is used. I am not sure

If somebody invokes the menu bar from the keyboard, with the regular
mouse based menu bar interface available, then it would seem to me
that this user clearly indicates that he does not want to have
anything to do with a mouse, through preference or necessity.  If he
dislikes "classical" menu bars, how likely is he to like File
Selection dialogs?

Sincerely,

Luc.
