If the operation was successful, the size of the scan set can be
retrieved by a call to <function>ZOOM_scanset_size</function>.
Like result sets, the items are numbered 0,..size-1.
To obtain information about a particular scan term, call function
<function>ZOOM_scanset_term</function>. This function takes
a scan set offset <literal>pos</literal> and returns a pointer
- to an actual term or <literal>NULL</literal> if non-present.

+ <function>ZOOM_scanset_term</function> except that it returns
+ the <emphasis>display term</emphasis> rather than the raw term.
