[comp.databases] Wyse60 as ANSI in Oracle, Wyse60/75 CRT file

I recently purchased a Wyse60 terminal to use as an ANSI emulation terminal
for use with Oracle. From what I understand from the documentation, it
should be set up in Wyse75 emulation to get ANSI capabilities.

The result ->
it works perfectly with vi and other such simple screen utilities but when
Oracle (eg sqlforms) is started up instead of lines I get F's G's and others
(I forget exactly). These characters I get are the same as what I get when
I run an ANSI session with Oracle on a VT100. (clue)
As well, none of the function keys (F1-F10, End, PgUp, etc) are defined
correctly (ANSI).

I have a strong feeling that I have missed some major steps as this appears to
be a very high quality terminal and I have heard good reports about it.
If this can't be solved I would be happy to run this Wyse60 as a Wyse60 or, if
it is better, a Wyse75. I have the appropriate TERMCAP entries but no CRT
files for either for use with Oracle. If anyone has CRT entries for either the
Wyse60, Wyse75 or VT320 (I will be needing this) could they please send me a
copy.

Thanks for any help.
