+ <STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG><menu.h></STRONG>
+ int set_menu_spacing(MENU *menu,
+ int spc_description
+ int spc_rows,

+<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
+ The function <STRONG>set_menu_spacing</STRONG> sets the spacing informa-
+ tions for the menu. <STRONG>spc_description</STRONG> controls the number
+ of spaces between an item name and an item description. It
+ must not be larger than <STRONG>TABSIZE</STRONG>. The menu system puts in
+ the middle of this spacing area the pad character. The
+ remaining parts are filled with spaces. <STRONG>spc_rows</STRONG> controls
+ the number of rows that are used for an item. It must not
+ be larger than 3. The menu system inserts then blank lines
+ between item rows, these lines will contain the pad char-
+ acter in the appropriate positions. <STRONG>spc_columns</STRONG> controls
+ the number of blanks between columns of items. It must not
+ be larger than TABSIZE. A value of 0 for all the spacing
+ values resets them to the default, which is 1 for all of
+ them.
+ The function <STRONG>menu_spacing</STRONG> passes back the spacing info for
+ the menu. If a pointer is NULL, this specific info is sim-
+ ply not returned.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
+ Both routines return <STRONG>E_OK</STRONG> on success. <STRONG>set_menu_spacing</STRONG> may
+ return <STRONG>E_POSTED</STRONG> if the menu is posted, or <STRONG>E_BAD_ARGUMENT</STRONG>
+ if one of the spacing values is out of range.
