- The function <B>set_menu_spacing</B> sets the spacing information for the
- menu. Its parameter <B>spc_description</B> controls the number of spaces
- between an item name and an item description. It must not be larger
- than <B>TABSIZE</B>. The menu system puts in the middle of this spacing area
- the pad character. The remaining parts are filled with spaces. The
- <B>spc_rows</B> 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 <B>spc_columns</B> parameter controls the
- number of blanks between columns of items. It must not be larger than
- <B>TABSIZE</B>. A value of 0 for all the spacing values resets them to the
- default, which is 1 for all of them.
- The function <B>menu_spacing</B> passes back the spacing info for the menu.
- If a pointer is NULL, this specific info is simply not returned.
