The function set_current_field sets the current field of the given
form; current_field returns the current field of the given form.
The function unfocus_current_field removes the focus from the current
field of the form. In such state, inquiries via current_field shall
return a NULL pointer.
The function set_form_page sets the form's page number (goes to page n
of the form).
The function form_page returns the form's current page number.
The function field_index returns the index of the field in the field
array of the form it is connected to. It returns ERR if the argument
is the null pointer or the field is not connected.
Except for form_page, each routine returns one of the following:
E_OK The routine succeeded.
E_BAD_ARGUMENT

The header file <form.h> automatically includes the header file
<curses.h>.
These routines emulate the System V forms library. They were not
supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
The unfocus_current_field function is an ncurses extension.
