   I wanted to define a key (like Ctrl-Z) to perform a special function in    my form like return me to the first block in a form or calculate a value    and popup a window with the value.

   If this is possible, what do I assign the Ctrl-Z key to in ORA*TERM?

   There is no particular function like NEXT-BLOCK, CUT, MENU that will be    associated with Ctrl-Z. Ctrl-Z will also not be associated with a    trigger event like KEY-NXTBLK, KEY-NXTFLD or KEY-PRVREC.

   I played with Key-Others Trigger, but that seems to trap all    "non-function" keys. I still want to be able to use those keys.

   Any help is greatly appreciated.
