under $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/mesg
there are many error messages files.
the ones your looking for here are
oraus.msg
oraus.msb
The extention msg files are ascii text that you
can edit if you like (I used to do this a lot on Oracle 6 and 7),
but unless they have changed things since then, these files
are used only by the oerr utility.
The msb files are binary files that are used by the executables
to look up error messages.
BTW, the 'us' in the file name indicates us english. If you
are working with some other language, it will be oraXX.msg,
where XX indicates the language of the file.
