 .SH DESCRIPTION
 In order to make menu selections visible on older terminals without
 highlighting or color capability, the menu library marks selected items
 in a menu with a prefix string.

 Note that changing the length of the mark string for a menu while the
 menu is posted is likely to produce unhelpful behavior.

-The default string is "-" (a dash). Calling \fBset_menu_mark\fR with
-a \fBNULL\fR menu argument will change this default.
