+The menu window
displays any title and border associated with the window; the menu subwindow
displays the items of the menu that are currently available for selection.

+The first four functions get and set those windows.
+It is not necessary to set
either window; by default, the driver code uses \fBstdscr\fR for both.
-
+.PP
In the \fBset_\fR functions, window argument of \fBNULL\fR is treated as though
it were \fBstsdcr\fR. A menu argument of \fBNULL\fR is treated as a request
to change the system default menu window or subwindow.
-
+.PP
The function \fBscale_menu\fR returns the minimum size required for the
subwindow of \fImenu\fR.
.SH RETURN VALUE

+Routines that return
an integer return one of the following error codes:

+.B E_OK
The routine succeeded.
.TP 5
-\fBE_SYSTEM_ERROR\fR
-System error occurred (see \fBerrno\fR).
+.B E_SYSTEM_ERROR
+System error occurred (see \fBerrno\fR(3)).
.TP 5
-\fBE_BAD_ARGUMENT\fR
+.B E_BAD_ARGUMENT
