INIT_MENU
INIT_MENU must be the first entry. It initializes the internal variables needed for the menu system.
MENU name,title,ul,uc,lr,lc,flags
This entry defines a menu screen.
When this entry is processed, the menu is assigned an ordinal number. The first menu is ordinal 0 and each subsequent
menu is assigned the next number in sequence. This ordinal is made PUBLIC as ORDINAL_name. This may be used by
user functions to determine the menu being processed.
The address of the menu definition entry is also made PUBLIC in the form LABEL_name. This label may be used by user
functions to alter various parts of the menu definition. Use with extreme care as there is no error checking of altered entries.
SKIP_LINE
SKIP_LINE places a blank line on the screen and forces the next item to appear one line down from where it would nor-
mally be placed. This item only has an effect if the row entry in the item entry is omitted.
ITEM name,row,col,flags
This entry defines an item.
