I'm not sure how to access the menus in a terminal, or why you'd even want to, so I can't help with that. As far as the syntax highlighting and cut-and-paste behavior go, here are the relevant snippets of my .emacs. This tells XEmacs to always use the maximum amount of syntax highlighting with colors rather than fonts, and to have mouse middle-clicks paste wherever the cursor is rather than where the mouse is clicked. I believe that's what you were looking for.
