He wasn't referring to device size or cursor position, he meant the row / column
of every field is available via the API.  This allows you, once you write the
service program wrapper, to determine field coordinates at runtime and position
the cursor without using any indicators.

Combined with display attribute program fields, you can all but eliminate the
use of indicators except for things like subfile control keywords.

The api is somewhat complex though, as far as api's go.  Various routines have
appeared over the years for getting sfl size & page and field location data.
