I believe it is refering to 'line-mode'. ie. if you started sqldba with the sqldba mode=line command. sqldba since OracleV7 has a full-screen mode where your whole screen is redrawn, giving you drop down menus at top, a results window in the middle, and a command window at the bottom. Unfortunatly,  no mousability, and it is a royal pain-in-the-a** to get the function keys to work. This mode is usually invoked by just typing 'sqldba'. The terminal settings/functions keys are governed by the ORACLE_TERM environment  variable (in UNIX). I do not know what the equivelent in a NOVELL environment would be.
