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