-<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
- 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 <STRONG><A HREF="menu_driver.3x.html">menu_driver(3X)</A></STRONG>.
-
- The function <STRONG>set_menu_pattern</STRONG> sets the pattern buffer for
- the given menu and tries to find the first matching item.
- If it succeeds, that item becomes current; if not, the
- current item does not change.
-
- The function <STRONG>menu_pattern</STRONG> returns the pattern buffer of
- the given <EM>menu</EM>.
-
