DESCRIPTION
       set_menu_fore sets the foreground attribute of menu -- the display
       attribute for the current item (if selectable) on single-valued menus
       and for selected items on multi-valued menus.  This display attribute
       is a curses library visual attribute.  menu_fore returns the
       foreground attribute of menu.

       set_menu_back sets the background attribute of menu -- the display
       attribute for unselected, yet selectable, items.  This display
       attribute is a curses library visual attribute.

       set_menu_grey sets the grey attribute of menu -- the display
       attribute for nonselectable items in multi-valued menus.  This
       display attribute is a curses library visual attribute.  menu_grey
       returns the grey attribute of menu.

       The pad character is the character that fills the space between the
       name and description of an item.  set_menu_pad sets the pad character
       for menu to pad.  menu_pad returns the pad character of menu.
