What? It's not intuitively obvious? ;-)

Here's what I've done:

1. make sure your ORAKITPATH environment variable is being set in your appropriate login script to:

$ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk2/admin/terminal:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/terminal

2) start an xterm with the sun function keys enabled: xterm -sf -T Sqldba -n Sqldba -ls &

3) set your TERM environment variable to sun or xsun (both work, but xsun seems to work better). You don't want this to be the case generally because then nothing else (like vi) will work. That's why I also set the xterm window and icon titles to Sqldba.

Hope this helps!
