63<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
64 The function <STRONG>post_menu</STRONG> displays a menu to its associated
65 subwindow. To trigger physical display of the subwindow,
66 use <STRONG>refresh</STRONG> or some equivalent <STRONG>curses</STRONG> routine (the
67 implicit <STRONG>doupdate</STRONG> triggered by an <STRONG>curses</STRONG> input request
68 will do). <STRONG>post_menu</STRONG> resets the selection status of all
69 items.
70
71 The function <STRONG>unpost_menu</STRONG> erases menu from its associated
72 subwindow.

86 ment.

92 Routine was called from an initialization or termina-
93 tion function.
