Configuring properties for SQL plus

Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me what you need to do to make the changes that you might make to SQL plus permenant.

For example, I always fing the linesize to small and always need to at least double it. Is there anyway that I can configure it to do this all the time as I'm sick of doing it each and every time.

The other more basic thing is, does anyone have any recomendations for something that does the same sort of job as SQL plus but is better. I really hate SQL+. I dont get why oracle are still shipping that thing. It looks like it hasnt been changed in 15 years. (For example, why cant you move the cursor back along the line if you make a mistake. Instead it forces you to delete the entire line up to your mistake. What on earth is that about!)

Anyway, I really need an open source solution. I'd love to buy something like SQL Navigator as I think that that is a really great product (and frankly for 25000 quid I'd expect something of that quality from oracle themselves).
Unfortunately I'm just a student and so dont have any money to spend on expensive development software.
Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Thanks to anyone who can help

Kind Regards
