I am think you will need to settle for one of the following:
Enforce a [finite] set of terminal emulators and ask users to configure logical F5 to F10 to send certain ASCII sequences. For each such key combination, create a device entry using oraterm to convert the ASCII sequence to F5 ... F10. Then let the users tell you which device they are using before you strart runform/sqlforms (You may decide this by refering to a lookup table if possible.)
Use certain double key strokes (e.g. CTRL-X for exit) to accomodate the extra keys needed.
