We are having similiar problems with SQLDBA on a VMS Alpha BOX running Oracle 7.0.15.4.0, the problem has been reported to Oracle WorldWide support and we are awaiting an answer (TAR# 40216.009).

As far as I am concerned it is a BUG with the terminal definitions. Oracle has changed how they use their term definitions with the new tools. We have a kludge (work around) where by if you hit the desired keys twice you will (most of the time) get the key sequence you desire.

The bug does not seem to disapear even if you use a VT220 or 320/340 series terminal.
