SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
       The function ppoossttmmeennuu displays a menu to its associated subwindow.  To
       trigger physical display of the subwindow, use rreeffrreesshh or some  equiva-
       lent ccuurrsseess routine (the implicit ddoouuppddaattee triggered by an ccuurrsseess input
       request will do). ppoossttmmeennuu resets the selection status of all items.

       The function uunnppoossttmmeennuu erases menu from its associated subwindow.
