 ∙ form_center   Centres an object
 ∙ form_dial     Reserves and releases screen memory
 ∙ form_do       Processes a dialog
 ∙ form_error    Outputs operating system error alert
 ∙ form_keybd    Processes keyboard input
 ∙ form_popup    Manages a popup-menu
 ∙ form_wbutton  Simulates a mouse-click (in window)
 ∙ form_wkeybd   Processes keyboard input (in window)
 ∙ form_xdial    Reserves/releases screen memory (Flydials)
 ∙ form_xdo      Extended dialog handling

 ∙ xfrm_popup    Manages a popup-menu (extended version)
