In fact, since changing the value of TERM fixed things, it PROVES the problem is with one of these. If you go to the PuTTY website you will find a simple answer to your question in the online documentation. In the data panel of the configuration settings, you may change the terminal-type-string to vt200, to cause PuTTY to set TERM correctly for you. -- James Bailie <jimmy@jamesbailie.com> http://www.jamesbailie.com
