In GNU Emacs 19.22.1 of Sat Apr  2 1994 on brauer (berkeley-unix)

I'm using Emacs on a VT320 terminal attached to a Sparcstation 1+.  The
terminal type is set to VT100.

In LaTeX mode, I did C-h m to check mode documenation, and found the
following line:

Use menu-bar tex validate-tex-buffer to check buffer for paragraphs containing
mismatched $'s or braces.

This would be correct documentation in a windowing system which had a
menu bar; however, I'm on an ordinary terminal, and thus need to use M-x
to call the command.  I don't think in-text documentation which looks up
a command should refer to commands on the menu-bar unless one exists.
