For all version 3 of SQL*Forms and Runform and for version 5.x of SQL*Menu and Runmenu, you can override the default terminal definition using the "-c" switch.

Depending on how many resource files you have (they end in .r) you could do the following:

    sqlforms30 -c vt100

to run with a vt100 terminal.

Note that a file with the name vt100.r should exist in the directory pointed to by ORATERMPATH.

You can snoop into the resource files to see what is supported using the oraterm product.
