What if your clients connect to two databases that have two different character sets??

We have two main in-house Oracle applications developed on Forms 4.5. We will be upgrading to Forms 5.0 shortly. Each application connects to a different database. One is US7ASCII (for historical reasons and we cannot change it) and the other is not.

I would like to change the NLS registry setting before starting an application. Does anyone know how to change a single registry entry using a batch program?
