 .SH NAME
-\fBform_userptr\fR - associate application data with a form item
+\fBset_form_userptr\fP,
+\fBform_userptr\fR \- associate application data with a form item
 .SH SYNOPSIS
 \fB#include <form.h>\fR
+.sp
+\fBint set_form_userptr(FORM *\fP\fIform\fP\fB, void *\fP\fIuserptr\fP\fB);\fP
 .br
-int set_form_userptr(FORM *form, void *userptr);
-.br
-void* form_userptr(const FORM *form);
+\fBvoid* form_userptr(const FORM *\fP\fIform\fP\fB);\fP
 .br
 .SH DESCRIPTION
 Every form and every form item has a field that can be used to hold
 application-specific data (that is, the form-driver code leaves it alone).
 These functions get and set the form user pointer field.
 .SH RETURN VALUE
-The function \fBform_userptr\fR returns \fBNULL\fR on error.
-The function \fBset_form_userptr\fR returns one of the following:
-.TP 5
-\fBE_OK\fR
-The routine succeeded.
-.TP 5
-\fBE_SYSTEM_ERROR\fR
-System error occurred (see \fBerrno\fR).
+The function \fBform_userptr\fR returns a pointer (which may be \fBNULL\fR).
+It does not set \fBerrno\fP.
+.PP
+The function \fBset_form_userptr\fR returns \fBE_OK\fP (success).
 .SH SEE ALSO
 \fBcurses\fR(3X), \fBform\fR(3X).
 .SH NOTES
 The header file \fB<form.h>\fR automatically includes the header file
 \fB<curses.h>\fR.
 .SH PORTABILITY
-These routines emulate the System V forms library.  They were not supported on
+These routines emulate the System V forms library.

-The user pointer should be a void pointer.  We leave it as a char pointer for
-SVr4 compatibility.

+The user pointer is a void pointer.
+We chose not to leave it as a char pointer for SVr4 compatibility.
