The function \fBset_current_item\fR sets the current item (the item on which
the menu cursor is positioned). \fBcurrent_item\fR returns a pointer to the
current item in the given menu.

The function \fBset_top_row\fR sets the top row of the menu to show the given
row (the top row is initially 0, and is reset to this value whenever the
