Pull down the notification bar or look in your app drawer (or drag Settings from the app drawer to the lower left button position on the screen).

Is this post in the correct forum? The Note 4 doesn't have a Settings button on the lower left.

I believe they are talking about the hardware menu "button". It changed functionality with ICS and became the way to access the recent apps/task manager. Even under ICS though, in some apps, if long pressed, it brought up a settings/options menu in some older apps. It appears that Samsung took that long press functionality away with MM, at least in some older apps like one I use called Open Sudoku.
