       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.

             E_OK        - The routine returned successfully.
             E_SYSTEM_ERROR-System error.
