DESCRIPTION
       The function set_menu_items changes the item pointer array of the given

       The function menu_items returns NULL on error.

       The function item_count returns ERR (the general  curses  error  return
       value) on error.

       The  function  set_menu_items  returns  one  of  the following codes on
       error:

       E_OK The routine succeeded.

       E_SYSTEM_ERROR

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).
