Obviously BOTH of these are wrong for the terminal, yet the Oracle Forms
application shows the bottom status bar in the correct place with
RedHat, yet with SLES8 the terminal screen needs to be scrolled down to
see it.

Hmm, maybe the oracle application does something fancy (like calling
the resize application) when the rows/columns are zero.
Does it work on a sles machine if you do 'stty rows 0 columns 0'
before strarting the application?

This doesn't solve the problem unfortunately..

However 'stty rows 14' from .profile does make the status bar appear in the
correct place on one device, a second "identical" device shows it one line
higher...

We just tested on SLES9 and it behaves in the same way as SLES8

BOTH servers show the correct rows and columns when connecting with
putty from windows or a standard xterm. (The values also correctly
change if the term is resized)

I guess the application also behaves correctly in this case?

yes. it does.
