I had a similar problem getting the keyboard mapping to work for vt220 emulation from my PC keyboard. My UNIX host is an HP9000 but I am using an xterm emulation not hpterm. After struggling through Oracle support fro many weeks, they finally told me that you can not change the keyboard mapping they give you for SQL*DBA (this is as of 7.0.16.4.0). The keyboard mapping is somehow hard-coded into the SQL*DBA .res files. I was told that in some future release (they would not tell me when), they would change the keyboard file to Oracle*Terminal, so that the keys could be remapped.
