DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  function set_menu_fore sets the foreground attribute of menu. This
       is the highlight used for selected menu items.  menu_fore  returns  the
       foreground attribute.  The default is A_STANDOUT.

       The  function set_menu_back sets the background attribute of menu. This
       is the highlight used for selectable (but not currently selected)  menu
       items.	The  function menu_back returns the background attribute.  The
       default is A_NORMAL.

       The function set_menu_grey sets the grey attribute of menu. This is the
       highlight  used	for un-selectable menu items in menus that permit more
       than one selection.  The function menu_grey returns the grey attribute.
       The default is A_UNDERLINE.

       The  function  set_menu_pad  sets  the character used to fill the space
       between the name and  description  parts  of  a	menu  item.   menu_pad
       returns the given menu's pad character.	The default is a blank.
