For radio and check lists (2 and 3) all the selected items will be returned
using each items text label

For edited data fields, more complex values are returned. All editable fields
on a menu will have a token (whether edited or not) returned. Each token has two
fields - the field label and the new field contents; these are seperated by
$Cmenu::menu_sepn.

Since any type of item can be included in a menu, return values may be
equally complex. For complex return values, tokens can be split out using
a command fragment such as

 chop($return_value=&menu_display("Menu Prompt",$start_on_menu_item));
 @selection=split(/$Cmenu::menu_sep/,$return_value);
 for($loop=1;$loop<=$#selection;$i++) {
   # deal with each token
   ($field_label,$field_content) = split(/$Cmenu::menu_sepn,$selection[$i]);
   # processing each field accordingly
   ...
   }
