DESCRIPTION
       The  function  set_menu_items  changes  the  item pointer array of the
       given menu.  The array must be terminated by a NULL.

       The function menu_items returns the item array of the given menu.

       The function item_count returns the count of items in menu.

RETURN VALUES
       The function menu_items returns NULL on error.

       The function item_count returns ERR (the general curses	error  return
       value) on error.

       The  function  set_menu_items  returns  one  of the following codes on
       error:

       E_OK The routine succeeded.

       E_SYSTEM_ERROR

NOTES
       The header  file	 <menu.h>  automatically  includes  the	 header	 file
       <curses.h>.

PORTABILITY
       These  routines emulate the System V menu library.  They were not sup-
       ported on Version 7 or BSD versions.

       The SVr4 menu library documentation  specifies  the  item_count	error
       value as -1 (which is the value of ERR).
