/*****************************************************************
Usage: int list_select (char *ptr[]);
char *ptr[]= Array of pointers, each of which points to
to a option. The pointer following the last
option must be NULL.
This function allows selection from a list of options. The user
may point to the option using the Up/Down cursor keys, and select
by pressing Enter. Pressing Escape exits without making a
selection.
The user may also Speed Search by typing in the option. As the
user types in the text, the option most closely matching the typed
text is highlighted. Actual selection must still be made by
pressing Enter.
The number corresponding to the selection is returned. A -1
indicates the user pressed Escape without making a selection.
