- In order to make menu selections visible on older termi-
- nals without highlighting or color capability, the menu
- library marks selected items in a menu with a prefix
- string.
- The function <STRONG>set_menu_mark</STRONG> sets the mark string for the
- given menu. Calling <STRONG>set_menu_mark</STRONG> with a null menu item
- will abolish the mark string. Note that changing the
- length of the mark string for a menu while the menu is
- posted is likely to produce unhelpful behavior.
