ADD NEW FIELDS 

FORMSPEC displays the Form Layout Menu for the ORDER form (which was
called SHIPTO), as shown in Figure 3-4.  Once a form is displayed, you
can change the placement, name or size of any existing fields, or the
header information and text on the form.

Action 

For this exercise, you add six new fields to the ORDER form; the lengths
and positions of the new fields are defined in Table 3-1.
