Just a little hint - use typedef for any types involving more than two
"bits" :

typedef int (*FInt)(void);
struct menu {
    ...
    FInt fp[3];
    ...

typedefs make the code legible and clear - if you have to think hard or read
comments to understand a type, then the code is wrong (even if it is
right!).  IMHO, of course.
