.SH DESCRIPTION
The function \fBfield_info\fR 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\fR 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).
+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.
