+The function \fBfield_info\fP returns the sizes and other attributes passed in
to the field at its creation time.
The attributes are: height, width, row of
upper-left corner, column of upper-left corner, number off-screen rows, and
number of working buffers.

+The function \fBdynamic_field_info\fP returns the actual size of the field, and
its maximum possible size.
If the field has no size limit, the location
addressed by the third argument will be set to 0.
A field can be made dynamic
-by turning off the \fBO_STATIC\fR option with \fBfield_opts_off\fR.
