indicate that a field is the currently active one on the form, this attribute may be set by using the set_field_fore() function. The pad
character for a field is the character that will be printed in all field locations not occupied with actual field contents. The pad charac-
ter can be retrieved by calling the field_pad() function, the pad character is set by using the set_field_pad() function.
