 .SH DESCRIPTION
 The function \fBset_form_fields\fR changes the field pointer array of
 the given \fIform\fR.  The array must be terminated by a \fBNULL\fR.
-
+.PP
 The function \fBform_fields\fR returns the field array of the given form.
-
+.PP
 The function \fBfield_count\fR returns the count of fields in \fIform\fR.
-
+.PP
 The function \fBmove_field\fR moves the given field (which must be disconnected)
 to a specified location on the screen.
 .SH RETURN VALUES
-The function \fBform_fields\fR returns \fBNULL\fR on error.
-
-The function \fBfield_count\fR returns \fBERR\fR (the general
-\fBcurses\fR error return value) on error.
-
+The function \fBform_fields\fR returns a pointer (which may be \fBNULL\fR).
+It does not set errno.
+.PP
+The function \fBfield_count\fR returns \fBERR\fR if the \fIform\fP parameter
+is \fBNULL\fP.

 the following codes on error:

 The SVr4 forms library documentation specifies the \fBfield_count\fR error value
 as -1 (which is the value of \fBERR\fR).
