.SH DESCRIPTION
Inserts a menu item at the spot specified.
See the introductory text for a detailed explanation of how the
\f[CR]pos\f[R] parameter is interpreted.
.PP
The \f[CR]parent\f[R] menu can be a popup menu or a regular menu.
To underline one character in the \f[CR]title\f[R], prefix it with an
ampersand.
.PP
The \f[CR]flags\f[R] can be any combination of:
.TP
ALLEGRO_MENU_ITEM_DISABLED
The item is \[lq]grayed out\[rq] and cannot be selected.
.TP
ALLEGRO_MENU_ITEM_CHECKBOX
The item is a check box.
This flag can only be set at the time the menu is created.
If a check box is clicked, it will automatically be toggled.
.TP
ALLEGRO_MENU_ITEM_CHECKED
The item is checked.
If set, ALLEGRO_MENU_ITEM_CHECKBOX will automatically be set as well.

The \f[CR]submenu\f[R] parameter indicates that this item contains a
child menu.

\f[CR]al_create_menu\f[R], and not be associated with any other menu.
.PP

than what is implied by \f[CR]pos\f[R]), or \-1 if there was an error.
