I don't know about Forms 4.6, but the latest version of Oracle Forms for Windows comes in the Developer 2000 package, which is 4.5.6.

As for Forms 5.0, I noticed a couple of presentations on what it will be like in the abstract listing for Int. Oracle User's Week 1995. I've included them here.

          Abstract: 12  
          Title:    New Features in Oracle Forms 5.0
          Author:   Ben Wright, Oracle Corporation

           
          Oracle Forms 4.5 has set the standard for rapid, feature-rich, high-
          quality, scalable application development.  This presentation will
          address the new concepts and functionality which will improve and
          extend this best-of-breed development environment in Oracle Forms 5.0:
          improved performance, extended object orientation, embellished MS
          Windows integration, new Apple Mac functionality, enhanced usability
          and productivity, and increased GUI control.  Oracle Forms 5.0's new
          features will allow developers to become even more productive, to
          produce even more consistent, functional applications, and to
          integrate even more closely with their environments.
           
          Abstract: 71  
          Title:    Oracle Forms 5.0 Features and Direction
          Author:   Tim Eicher, Oracle Corporation

           
          Oracle Forms 5.0 provides significant improvements in enterprise
          scalability and capacity, productivity, and support for advanced RDBMS
          features.  New features make it easier for customers to produce very
          large applications and to support a larger number of simultaneous
          users.  User interface improvements make Forms 5.0 easier to use and
          easier to learn.  Advanced PL/SQL and RDBMS features allow customers
          to take advantage of the latest database features in their Forms
          applications.  This presentation will examine Oracle Forms 5.0's new
          features.
           

(I hope all of the above formatted properly. Sorry if it didn't.)
