SYNOPSIS
     #include <menu.h>

DESCRIPTION
     The  function  new_menu  creates  a  new menu connected to a specified item

     The function free_menu disconnects menu from its item array and  frees  the
     storage allocated for the menu.

	  No items are connected to the menu.

     E_BAD_ARGUMENT
	  Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.

     E_POSTED
