  44. **
  45. **    NULL if error, else the non zero value returned from wn_input.

  47. ** NOTES:
  48. **
  49. **  FUN -   fun can only be SET for form setup, or XEQ for immediate
  50. **          execution.  When called with SET, valid arguements for both
  51. **          "frm" and "fld" must be specfied.  frm is the field pointer
  52. **          returned from frmopn(), and fld is the field sequence number
  53. **          in the form for this field.  When called with XEQ frm must
  54. **          be NFRM and fld must NFLD.
  55. **
  56. **  UBUFF - Editing buffer.  Must be of sufficent size to hold the
  57. **          data as it is entered.  Typical value is the length
  58. **          of the mask + 2 bytes (strlen(mask)+2).
  59. **
  60. **          On entry, the first byte of ubuff should be 
  61. **          a null, otherwise wn_input assumes there is valid
  62. **          data there and will enter edit mode.  This can be 
  63. **          handy if there is a need for prefilled but editable
  64. **          fields.  In actual pratice, wn_input uses this
  65. **          buffer for both initial character data entry and
  66. **          subsequent editing.
  67. **
  68. **          On return, ubuff contains the actual data entered in
  69. **          character format with fill and mask characters as
  70. **          spaces (e.g. "This is a line of text ").
  71. **
  72. **  Calls wn_input to perform data entry.
  73. **
  74. **  No validation is performed.
