- Thanks to those of you who responded to my question. For anyone who
- missed the original post, the problem was that I changed the default
- function key mapping (in moraterm.r using oraterm) and, although the
- new keys worked, when I pressed "Show Keys" the old keys were still listed.
- (It should change automatically, as for other resource files, I assume.)
-
- Well, one netter said he'd had the same problem and ORACLE said it was
- a bug and he THOUGHT he'd gotten a patch for it (he couldn't recall exactly).
-
- Another netter said he'd come across the problem too and had given up as
- it was just too confusing for the users. (My sentiments exactly.)
-
- So, I called our ORACLE Hotline and was sent a nifty little fax of juicy
- tidbits called "Guidelines for Usage of Bitmapped SQL*Forms 3.0 and
- SQL*Menu 5.0". It's written by Henry Ong and Elaine Teoh (dated July 8, '92).
- I'd LOVE to type the whole thing up and send it to anyone interested,
- BUT with the speed of my typing, that'd take forever.
-
- Here's the "solution" to my problem though:
- "Editing the moraterm.r and oloraterm.r file is not supported with the
- current version of oraterm - which is a character mode product. Until
- a bitmapped version of oraterm is available, ORACLE does not support
- editing the moraterm.r and oloraterm.r files. This is clearly documented
- in the README under $ORACLE_HOME/mprodins and $ORACLE_HOME/olprodins.
- (Bug #93002,#110962,#110963)."
-
- (Note: I couldn't find that README file.)
