.SH SYNOPSIS
-\fB#include <menu.h>\fP
+.nf
+\fB#include <menu.h>
+.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBmenu\fP library provides terminal-independent facilities for composing
menu systems on character-cell terminals.
To use the \fBmenu\fP library, link with the options
\fB\-lmenu \-lcurses\fP.

+.SS "Routine Name Index"
.
The following table lists each \fBmenu\fP routine and the name of
the manual page on which it is described.
.B E_UNKNOWN_COMMAND
The menu driver code saw an unknown request code.
.SH NOTES
-The header file \fB<menu.h>\fP automatically includes the header files
-\fB<curses.h>\fP and \fB<eti.h>\fP.
-.PP
-In your library list, libmenu.a should be before libncurses.a; that is,
-you should say \*(``\-lmenu \-lncurses\*('', not the other way around
-(which would give a link-error when using static libraries).
+The header file \fI\%menu.h\fP itself includes the header file
+\fI\%curses.h\fP.
.SH PORTABILITY
These routines emulate the System V menu library.
They were not supported on
Version 7 or BSD versions.
.PP
-The menu facility was documented in SVr4.2 in
-\fICharacter User Interface Programming (UNIX SVR4.2)\fP.
