Under which flavors of unix is this true? Oraterm definitely uses a resource file on AIX. Using the command

                      oraterm -c vt100   

should do the trick. Some sites may alias the commands which use resource files:

    alias oraterm oraterm -c $TERM:$TERM

Note the value held in the term variable might not always match the name of the associated resource file which oracle has supplied. Our site does not use this method, but it would be a minor thing to change the names of the resource file.
