getitems(1F)        (Form and Menu Language Interpreter)       getitems(1F)

NAME
     getitems - returns a list of currently marked menu items

SYNOPSIS
     getitems [delimiterstring]

DESCRIPTION
     The getitems function returns the value of lininfo if defined, else it
     returns the value of the name descriptor for all currently marked menu
     items. Each value in the list is delimited by delimiterstring. The
     default value of delimiterstring is newline.

EXAMPLES
     The done descriptor in the following menu definition file executes
     getitems when the user presses ENTER (the menu is multiselect):

          Menu="Example"
          multiselect=TRUE
          done=`getitems ":" | message`

          name="Item 1"
          action=`message "You selected item 1"`

          name="Item 2"
          lininfo="This is item 2"
          action=`message "You selected item 2"`

          name="Item 3"
          action=`message "You selected item 3"`

     If a user marked all three items in this menu, pressing ENTER would
     cause the following string to be displayed on the message line:

          Item 1:This is item 2:Item 3

     lininfo is defined for the second menu item therefore, its value is
     displayed instead of the value of the name descriptor.
