DESCRIPTION

        Every  menu  has  an  associated pattern match buffer.  As
-       input events that are printable ASCII characters come  in,
-       they  are  appended  to this match buffer and tested for a
-       match, as described in menu_driver(3x).

        The function set_menu_pattern sets the pattern buffer  for
        the  given menu and tries to find the first matching item.
