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).
