Re: User Defined Keys don't work (Forms 4.5, Oraterm23m, AIX and Motif)

Are the keys coming up in show keys correctly? You may have tried this but ...
1.You have to generate the .res; you can do this with oraterm, but I suggest you use the command otgen23 check your oracle bin. it doesn't create a new file but writes back to the res .file
2. The .res file must be the correct name, as came originally 3. Set env var TERM or ORACLE_TERM, eg export TERM=vt220, xterm or whatever, and you can use TERM on the run form command as well 4. env var FORMS45_TERMINAL (?) must point to the directory you .res file is in, (this is probably the one)
5. use od or cat -v to check what characters are actually coming out of the keys you press and they are correctly set in the device section

I'm sure I've let a few things out check this and let me know, I know how hard it is.
