Just used this myself...

=AFIELDS(aArray) <- inserts field information into an array. Quite useful.

 - Or -

FIELD(lnI) <- returns the name of field number lnI in the table. 
              Note that the alias is *not* returned.

Both of these can take a work area name or number as optional parameters.
