Heh.  Well, right now I don't *do* anything with that returned number,
so the cursor stays on the line/anchor it was on prior to the editing.

It's a minor thing, but it annoys me to then have to cursor/tab/scroll
down manually, to get to the bottom of the form, where the submit button
usually is.

Thanks!

I still have a few questions WRT my handling of the updating of some of
the structs' fields like  a->number  when  f->type == F_HIDDEN_TYPE, or
a->show_anchor == FALSE,  or  f->disabled == YES.

Currently, I don't do anything "special" for any of those cases, but
until I get bug reports, or hear wise words to the contrary, I'll leave
well enough alone ... :-) ...
