  64 <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
  65        The  function  <STRONG>set_menu_fore</STRONG> sets the foreground attribute
  66        of <EM>menu</EM>. This is the  highlight  used  for  selected  menu
  67        items.   <STRONG>menu_fore</STRONG>  returns the foreground attribute.  The
  68        default is <STRONG>A_STANDOUT</STRONG>.
  69
  70        The function <STRONG>set_menu_back</STRONG> sets the  background  attribute
  71        of  <EM>menu</EM>.  This  is the highlight used for selectable (but
  72        not  currently  selected)  menu   items.    The   function
  73        <STRONG>menu_back</STRONG>  returns  the background attribute.  The default
  74        is <STRONG>A_NORMAL</STRONG>.
  75
  76        The function <STRONG>set_menu_grey</STRONG>  sets  the  grey  attribute  of
  77        <EM>menu</EM>.  This  is  the highlight used for un-selectable menu
  78        items in menus that permit more than one  selection.   The
  79        function   <STRONG>menu_grey</STRONG>  returns  the  grey  attribute.   The
  80        default is <STRONG>A_UNDERLINE</STRONG>.
  81
  82        The function <STRONG>set_menu_pad</STRONG> sets the character used to  fill
  83        the space between the name and description parts of a menu
  84        item.  <STRONG>menu_pad</STRONG> returns the given  menu's  pad  character.
  85        The default is a blank.
