- The function <STRONG>set_menu_spacing</STRONG> sets the spacing information
- for the menu. Its parameter <STRONG>spc_description</STRONG> controls the
- number of spaces between an item name and an item descrip-
- tion. It must not be larger than <STRONG>TABSIZE</STRONG>. The menu sys-
- tem puts in the middle of this spacing area the pad char-
- acter. The remaining parts are filled with spaces. The
- <STRONG>spc_rows</STRONG> parameter controls the number of rows that are
- used for an item. It must not be larger than 3. The menu
- system inserts the blank lines between item rows, these
- lines will contain the pad character in the appropriate
- positions. The <STRONG>spc_columns</STRONG> parameter 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
- simply not returned.
