DESCRIPTION

       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

       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
