DESCRIPTION
       setmenufore 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.  menufore returns the
       foreground attribute of menu.

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

       setmenugrey 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.  menugrey
       returns the grey attribute of menu.

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