        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 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.   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 num-
-       ber  of  blanks  between  columns of items.  It must not be larger than
-       <STRONG>TABSIZE</STRONG>.  A value of 0 for all the spacing values resets  them  to  the
