- The function <STRONG>new_field</STRONG> allocates a new field and initial-
- izes it from the parameters given: height, width, row of
- upper-left corner, column of upper-left corner, number
- off-screen rows, and number of additional working buffers.
- The function <STRONG>dup_field</STRONG> duplicates a field at a new loca-
- tion. Most attributes (including current contents, size,
- validation type, buffer count, growth threshold, justifi-
- cation, foreground, background, pad character, options,
- and user pointer) are copied. Field status and the field
- page bit are not copied.
