As your first assignment this semester, you are to write a multi-platform direct terminal library and later use that library to create a text editor. Assignment One is done individually! Each student must complete and hand her/his own work, no collaboration permitted for this part.

====int io_menuItem(..........)====
<big>int io_menuItem(const char '''*format''', const char '''*menuItem''', int '''row''', int '''col''', int '''len''', int'''* status''');</big>
io_menuItem() allows the user to make a single item selection. '''"*status" ''' points to the status of the selection, that can be zero or non-zero. If '''"*status" ''' is initially set to anything but zero, io_menuItem() corrects value to one. '''"*format" ''' holds the shape of the selection indicator as io_displayMenuItem() function.
io_menuItem() begins the selection by displaying the menu item according to its '''“*status” ''' using [[#void_io_displayMenuItem.28...........29|io_displayMenuItem()]]. (Remember that the value of '''"*status" ''' is corrected before the editing begins). Then the function waits for the user input.
*If the user input is any of the printable keys (' ' < key <= '~') excluding space, it should be ignored (no action taken). If the user input is any of the function keys, the function is terminated returning the key.
