+.SH NAME
+\fBform_page\fP \-
+set and get form page number
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+\fB#include <form.h>
+.PP
+\fBint set_current_field(FORM *\fIform\fP, FIELD *\fIfield\fP);
+\fBFIELD *current_field(const FORM *\fIform\fP);
+.PP
+\fBint unfocus_current_field(FORM *\fIform\fP);
+.PP
+\fBint set_form_page(FORM *\fIform\fP, int \fIn\fP);
+\fBint form_page(const FORM *\fIform\fP);
+.PP
+\fBint field_index(const FIELD *\fIfield\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The function \fBset_current_field\fP sets the current field of the given
+form; \fBcurrent_field\fP returns the current field of the given form.
+.PP
+The function \fBunfocus_current_field\fP removes the focus from the current
+field of the form.
+In such state, inquiries via \fBcurrent_field\fP shall return a NULL pointer.
+.PP
+The function \fBset_form_page\fP sets the form's page number (goes to page
+\fIn\fP of the form).
+.PP
+The function \fBform_page\fP returns the form's current page number.
+.PP
+The function \fBfield_index\fP returns the index of the field in the
+field array of the form it is connected to.
+It returns \fBERR\fP if
+the argument is the null pointer or the field is not connected.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Except for \fBform_page\fP, each routine returns one of the following:
+.TP 5
+.B E_OK
+The routine succeeded.
+.TP 5
+.B E_BAD_ARGUMENT
+Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
+.TP 5

+Routine was called from an initialization or termination function.
+.TP 5
+.B E_INVALID_FIELD
+Contents of a field are not valid.
+.TP 5
+.B E_REQUEST_DENIED
+The form driver could not process the request.
+.TP 5
+.B E_SYSTEM_ERROR
+System error occurred (see \fBerrno\fP(3)).
+.SH PORTABILITY
+These routines emulate the System V forms library.
+They were not supported on
