.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The current item of a menu is the item where the cursor is currently
positioned. \fBset_current_item()\fR sets the current item of \fImenu\fR to
\fIitem\fR. \fBcurrent_item()\fR returns a pointer to the current item in
\fImenu\fR.
.sp
.LP
\fBset_top_row()\fR sets the top row of \fImenu\fR to \fIrow\fR. The left-most
item on the new top row becomes the current item. \fBtop_row()\fR returns the
number  of the menu row currently displayed at the top of \fImenu\fR.
.sp
.LP
\fBitem_index()\fR returns the index to the \fIitem\fR in the item pointer
array. The value of this index ranges from \fB0\fR through \fIN\fR\fB-1\fR,
where \fIN\fR is the total number of items connected to the menu.
