dup_field() function duplicates the given field,
  including any buffers associated with the field and returns the pointer to the

  the location frow and fcol but
  shares the buffers with the original field.
  new_field() creates a new field of size
  rows by cols at location
  frow, fcol on the page, the
  argument nrows specified the number of off screen rows
  the field has and the nbuf parameter specifies the
  number of extra buffers attached to the field. There will always be one buffer
  associated with a field.
dup_field() and
  new_field() will return NULL.
