17 The function set_form_opts sets all the given form's option bits (form
18 option bits may be logically-OR'ed together).
19
20 The function form_opts_on turns on the given option bits, and leaves
21 others alone.
22
23 The function form_opts_off turns off the given option bits, and leaves
24 others alone.
25
26 The function form_opts returns the form's current option bits.
27
28 The following options are defined (all are on by default):
29
30 O_NL_OVERLOAD
31 Overload the REQ_NEW_LINE forms driver request so that calling it
32 at the end of a field goes to the next field.
33
34 O_BS_OVERLOAD
35 Overload the REQ_DEL_PREV forms driver request so that calling it
36 at the beginning of a field goes to the previous field.

39 Except for form_opts, each routine returns one of the following:
40
41 E_OK The routine succeeded.
42
43 E_SYSTEM_ERROR

55 ported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
