    There's also FORMS30PATH, for SQL*Forms.

] Under forms 4.0 I cannot find a similar environment variable.

    In CDE, the variable for terminal files is ORACLE_TERMINAL. There's also product-specific variables, like FORMS40_TERMINAL, TK2_TERMINAL, and so on; and there are similar variables for icons, resource files, etc.

    You may also want to set {product}_TERM to the name of your terminal device (like, "xsun"). (I believe that, for Forms, you need to set ORACLE_TERM *and* use the "term=" command-line flag.)

    Also, you can set the environment variable DEBUG_SLFIND to find out what files are being used. Prior to the Production-3 release, you'd set it to some non-empty string, and it'd dump the output to the display--a real pain on CM, admittedly, if you've also got your program running. Starting with Production-3, you can set it to a file name, and it will append the dump to that file.
