- (It would be really nice if all the oracle tools would use the same terminal
- support, but that's another question).
-
- What I do in my .bashrc file is to define an alias for (say) runform30 that
- takes care of the -c option:
-
- if [ "$TERM" = "xterm" ]; then
- alias runform30='runform30 -c xtermsun:sun'
