DESCRIPTION
        The  function new_field 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.

PORTABILITY

PORTABILITY
        These routines emulate the System V forms  library.   They
        were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
 
        It  may be unwise to count on the set of attributes copied
