Discussion
The UI_INFO_DLG_DEF_WIDTH() function tells you how wide the specified Xdialog control will be.
In this example, lastname prompt and the field are on same line, so the Xdialog will be 2.8125 inches wide.
? ui_info_dlg_def_width("lastname: [.40name]") = 2.8125
In this example, the lastname prompt and the field are on separate lines (because of the semi-colon after lastname:). The Xdialog will be 2.40625 inches wide.
? ui_info_dlg_def_width("lastname:; [.40name]") = 2.40625
