plsql programmatic alternative to desc <table_name>

I want forms constructed dynamically from table defenitions.  Is there a
programmatic alternative to SQL*Plus desc command.
For starters I want field lengths to constrain form input.



If possible I would also like to find out column names so I can dynamically
create the entire form given a table name.  Being able to index the columns
by number is very useful in this area (is it possible?).



Many thanks,


Mark
