Subject: WYSE60 working PROPERLY with Oracle (SQLFORMS)

I posted a while ago asking with the proper WYSE60 CRT file for use with
Oracle (V5, SQLFORMS 2.0.21, SCO Xenix 2.3.2). The file I received seemed
to be more or less right but I noticed that :

1	when EXEQRY (F2) or other certain keys were pressed they automatically
	  gave a CR as well, thus clearing the status messages. I edited the CRT
	  file and removed this.

2	the 0 key on the main keyword does not display a 0 but takes the next
	  few keys as garbage. Note that when not in sqlforms the 0 key works
	  fine eg in csh.

3	if I start typing during a screen draw the terminal will often start to
	  behave in a crazy manner as if I had pressed all sorts of stray keys.

4	I set the terminal up as a 25-line terminal but every time I exit
	  from SQLFORMS the terminal is reset to 24 line mode.

1,2 & 4 sound like CRT problems. 3 & 4 seems like a terminal setup and/or line
synchronization problem. Given this, could someone please send me the CRT
file that they actually use for a WYSE60 working with SQLFORMS as well as the
relevant terminal setup information. I am pretty well lost.

Thanks for any help.
