SYNOPSIS

     #include <form.h>

     void (*)(FORM *)
     field_init(FORM *form);

     void (*)(FORM *)
     field_term(FORM *form);

     void (*)(FORM *)
     form_init(FORM *form);

     void (*)(FORM *)
     form_term(FORM *form);

     int
     set_field_init(FORM *form, void (*function)(FORM *));

     int
     set_field_term(FORM *form, void (*function)(FORM *));

     int
     set_form_init(FORM *form, void (*function)(FORM *));

     int
     set_form_term(FORM *form, void (*function)(FORM *));

DESCRIPTION

     The field_init() function returns a pointer to the function that will be called just after the current field changes and just before the form
     is posted, this function may be set by using the set_field_init() function.  Similarly, the function field_term() will return a pointer to
     the function that will be called just before the current field changes and just after the form is unposted, this function pointer may be set
     by using the set_field_term() function.  The form_init() function will return a pointer to the function that will be called just before the
     form is posted to the screen, this function can be set by calling the set_form_init() function.  The form_term() function will return a
     pointer to the function that will be called just after the form is unposted from the screen, this function may be set by using the
     set_form_term() function.	By default, the init and term function pointers are NULL.

RETURN VALUES

     Functions returning pointers will return NULL if an error is detected.  The functions that return an int will return one of the following
     error values:

     E_OK		The function was successful.
