Package: dialog
Version: 1.0-20050116-1
Severity: minor

The man page contains the following sentence about --form's entries:

   On exit, the contents of the form-fields are written to dialog's
   output,  each  field  separated by a newline.  Input-only fields
   (flen is zero) are not written out.

If flen is zero then there can be no input on such fields
whatsoever. I think those should be named "output-only" fields
instead, or maybe "informational fields" or something like that.

But maybe I just don't get it ;)
