The latest good news is sqlplus no longer crashes - I actually get a password prompt,
so I am much closer than before. Thanks for all the hints.
I do still have a problem, though. I am getting ORA-012560 - TNS:protocol adaptor
error

I don't have Oracle installed on my client. Do I need to have NET8 installed locally?
Remember I can run sqlplus from the cmd prompt and sqlplusw from a shortcut mapped to
the server without any problems.
Thanks again for all the help.
