 .SH DESCRIPTION
 The function \fBset_menu_format\fR sets the maximum display size of the given
-menu.  If this size is too small to display all menu items, the menu will be
-made scrollable. If this size is larger than the menus subwindow and the
-subwindow is too small to display all menu items, \fBpost_menu()\fR will fail.
-
-The default format is 16 rows, 1 column.  Calling \fBset_menu_format\fR with a
-null menu pointer will change this default.  A zero row or column argument to
+menu.

+A zero row or column argument to
 \fBset_menu_format\fR is interpreted as a request not to change the current
 value.
