I have had similar problems....
There are two possibilities here:
either use the moraterm.r resource file and copy one of the existing maps to a new one and edit it to give you the configuration you want or copy another .r to ncd.r and edit that.
You will have to invoke msqlforms, mrunforms etc. with the -c option (msqlforms30 -c moraterm:ncd / msqlforms30 -c ncd:default) The bit before the ':' tells Oracle which resource file to use, the bit after the ':' tells it which definition to use in the resource file.
I also found that using the Motif versions of these products, the keyboard help feature does *NOT* show the new mappings but still shows the defaults (under DEC RISC Ultrix). I reported this to Oracle; unfortunately I don't recall the outcome, as we decided not to persevere with the bitmapped versions of the products.
Hope this helps!
