DESCRIPTION

        The function set_menu_spacing sets  the  spacing  information  for  the
-       menu.   Its  parameter  spc_description  controls  the number of spaces
-       between an item name and an item description.  It must  not  be  larger
-       than  TABSIZE.  The menu system puts in the middle of this spacing area
-       the pad character.  The remaining parts are filled  with  spaces.   The
-       spc_rows  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  spc_columns  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  menu_spacing  passes back the spacing info for the menu.
-       If a pointer is NULL, this specific info is simply not returned.
