three major input cases:
- - The input is a form navigation request. Navigation
- request codes are constants defined in <STRONG><form.h></STRONG>, which

- by <STRONG>wgetch</STRONG>.

The menu driver requests are as follows:
If you click above the display region of the menu:
- a REQ_SCR_ULINE is generated for a single click,
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> a REQ_SCR_ULINE is generated for a single click,
- a REQ_SCR_UPAGE is generated for a double-click and
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> a REQ_SCR_UPAGE is generated for a double-click and
- a REQ_FIRST_ITEM is generated for a triple-click.
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> a REQ_FIRST_ITEM is generated for a triple-click.
If you click below the display region of the menu:
- a REQ_SCR_DLINE is generated for a single click,
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> a REQ_SCR_DLINE is generated for a single click,
- a REQ_SCR_DPAGE is generated for a double-click and
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> a REQ_SCR_DPAGE is generated for a double-click and
- a REQ_LAST_ITEM is generated for a triple-click.
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> a REQ_LAST_ITEM is generated for a triple-click.

- click usually means that an item-specific action
- should be returned. It is exactly the purpose
- of this return value to signal that an applica-
- tion specific command should be executed.
