  NAME
       getitems - returns a list of the currently marked menu
       items.

  SYNOPSIS
       getitems [delimiter_string]

  DESCRIPTION
       The getitems command takes a delimiter string as its only
       argument.  It returns a list of the names (or lininfo, if it
       is defined) of the currently marked menu items, delimited by
       the argument string.  If no argument is given, the default
       delimiter is NEWLINE.

  EXAMPLE
       This code defines a menu:

          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 all three items in this menu were marked, when he RETURN
       key is pressed, the following string will appear on the
       message line:

          Item 1:This is item 2:Item 3

       Note that since lininfo is defined for item 2, its value is
       substituted for the name.
