DESCRIPTION

       set_item_init() assigns the application-defined function to be called when the menu is posted and just  after  the  current  item  changes.

       changes.

       set_item_term() assigns an application-defined function to be called when the menu is unposted and just before the  current  item  changes.
       item_term()  returns  a	pointer  to  the  termination  function, if any, called when the menu is unposted and just before the current item
