DESCRIPTION

22       The  function set_menu_fore sets the foreground attribute of menu. This
23       is the highlight used for selected menu items.  menu_fore  returns  the
24       foreground attribute.  The default is A_REVERSE.
25
26       The  function set_menu_back sets the background attribute of menu. This
27       is the highlight used for selectable (but not currently selected)  menu
28       items.   The  function menu_back returns the background attribute.  The
29       default is A_NORMAL.

31       The function set_menu_grey sets the grey attribute of menu. This is the

34       The default is A_UNDERLINE.
35
36       The  function  set_menu_pad  sets  the character used to fill the space
