</PRE>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
       <B>#include</B> <B>&lt;menu.h&gt;</B>
       int set_menu_fore(MENU *menu, chtype attr);
       chtype menu_fore(const MENU *menu);
       int set_menu_back(MENU *menu, chtype attr);

</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
       The  function  <B>set_menu_fore</B> sets the foreground attribute
       of <I>menu</I>. This is the  highlight  used  for  selected  menu
       items.   <B>menu_fore</B>  returns the foreground attribute.  The
       default is <B>A_STANDOUT</B>.

       The function <B>set_menu_back</B> sets the  background  attribute
       of  <I>menu</I>.  This  is the highlight used for selectable (but
       not  currently  selected)  menu   items.    The   function
       <B>menu_back</B>  returns  the background attribute.  The default
       is <B>A_NORMAL</B>.

       The function <B>set_menu_grey</B>  sets  the  grey  attribute  of
       <I>menu</I>.  This  is  the highlight used for un-selectable menu
       items in menus that permit more than one  selection.   The
       function   <B>menu_grey</B>  returns  the  grey  attribute.   The
       default is <B>A_UNDERLINE</B>.

       The function <B>set_menu_pad</B> sets the character used to  fill
       the space between the name and description parts of a menu
       item.  <B>menu_pad</B> returns the given  menu's  pad  character.
       The default is a blank.
