Creating an Oracle data source on NT

I have an Oracle 7.3 Workgroup NT question
that may be a bit basic for this crowd, but
your help would be appreciated.
I am attempting to perform the basic task of
creating a data source - associating a name with
an Oracle data base. The data base/space exists,
but when I launch the (Oracle's) 32-bit ODBC admin,
the dialog does not allow me to associate a data src name with
a data base (it presents input for description, SQL connect string,
and some other NA field). Every other data base type
on my system is associated with a particular data base - as you would
expect. A different dialog box appears for other
db types (assess, FoxPro or SQL server, for example) - one that
allows me to name the db by name.
What am I missing? (Hope it's nothing basic).
Has anyone associated a data source name with an Oracle data base?
All pointers will be much appreciated.
