It is Putty 0.56.

And I have solved the issue.  I was getting prompted for my user 
name.  I assumed that indicated ssh-agent was not working.  I entered 
my user name, and I'm logged in.

I went to the configuration items and set "Auto-login username" to 
'dan'.  Now when I run putty, all I need to do is specify the 
hostname, and I'm logged in.

[for those trying to find out how to do this, the hosts I logged into 
already have my public ssh key in their ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file]
